The curriculum covers the implementation of BFRT for a range of goals—including strength, hypertrophy, aerobic conditioning, and rehabilitation—while focusing on essential safety protocols, contraindications, and vascular risk mitigation.

Bridging The Gap: Occupational Therapy In Cystic Fibrosis
Presented by Madeline Johnson, OTD/S, BS Psychology, Allie Turner, OTD, OTR/L, CKTP, CEIM
VideoText
Course: #7014Level: Introductory1 Hour
Individuals with cystic fibrosis (CF) may experience challenges that limit participation in meaningful occupations throughout the lifespan. These barriers highlight the need for the holistic and client-centered care that occupational therapy (OT) can offer to support the quality of life across the lifespan. Within the hour of the session, participants will examine deficits and limitations in development, physical health, cognition, psychosocial health and motivation, and nutrition during pediatrics, adulthood, and in palliative care. This evidence-based session will prepare participants to advocate for the integration of OT services to improve the quality of life of individuals with CF.
