NMD4C Knowledge Translation (KT) Webinar Series
Did you know? In September, the network’s Knowledge Translation team launched a webinar series to provide a variety of information, tools and general guidelines to facilitate evidence-based practice.
If you missed the first KT webinar on September 29, it’s not too late! If you wish to watch (or re-watch) Dr. Lamontagne’s presentation ‘’Setting up the basics for a successful KT plan’’, you can learn about the knowledge-to-action framework, including the differences between the end of grant and integrated KT plans, specific challenges with KT in the context of neuromuscular disease, and how to develop a KT plan for a CIHR- grant. You can still access a recording here.
Share your knowledge translation experience with us!
Did you recently apply KT skills in your clinical practice? Are you aware of any KT projects around you that you believe could benefit other colleagues? If you have an example of a successful (or constructive!) KT story, the NMD4C KT team would love to hear from you. We hope that sharing these experiences within the network can inspire other members of the neuromuscular community to explore the different KT options they have available to them, and to implement these strategies in their work.
If you would like to share a KT project with the network, please contact network communications coordinator James Davis at .

Training Session for Physiotherapists and Occupational Therapists on Outcome Measures in Spinal muscular atrophy hosted by Quebec SMA Network
This past March 23, the Quebec SMA Network (Réseau québécois de l’amyotrophie spinale – RQAS) in collaboration with the NMD4C and Muscular Dystrophy Canada (MDC) hosted an interactive training session for French-speaking physiotherapists and occupational therapists on assessment measures and practices for Spinal muscular atrophy (SMA). This training gathered clinicians to train and discuss SMA standardized outcome measures and work through current problems/challenges, to improve how these measures often tied to drug reimbursement are conducted.
