Summary

This course provides a practical and rigorous approach based on the IFOMPT (2020) framework for screening red flags associated with spinal disorders. It covers in detail the main red flags related to serious spinal pathologies, including cauda equina syndrome, spinal fractures, cancers, and infections.

Participants will learn to identify relevant risk factors, signs, and symptoms to determine the level of concern regarding the potential presence of a serious pathology. They will also develop essential skills to make appropriate clinical decisions.

The course includes practical case studies, allowing participants to apply their knowledge in real clinical situations. The focus is on analyzing patients’ clinical profiles and making informed decisions regarding treatment or medical referral.

Objectives

  1. Identify the risk factors, signs, and symptoms (red flags) associated with major spinal pathologies
  2. Determine the level of concern regarding the presence of a red flag (serious pathology) based on the red flags and the patient’s clinical profile
  3. Analyze the clinical profile to know when to treat, monitor, or refer the patient for medical investigations

– Short and to the point – especially useful was the practice to determine the level of concern and clinical action to follow.
– I wish there could be more cases, or a printout to have more practice on our own time, with answers.
– Thank you for making the interactive tool (very detailed), and for providing the ”Horse Tail” handout for physios.
– An alternate handout of CES in many languages (could be interesting to include): https://www.macpweb.org/learning-resources/cauda-equina-information-cards.aspx
– The link in the cancer section of interactive tool is not functional.
– For the same tool, it might be more accessible if there was an option to read in english or french (now it’s a mix).

Each health professional who is a member of a college or association must complete continuing education units (CEU) annually. Here is some information about kinesiologists, physiotherapists and physiotherapy technologists.

Kinesiologist, FKQ

All accredited members of the Fédération des Kinésiologues du Québec (FKQ) must accumulate 30 credits of recognized continuing education every two years from the year of their accreditation. These credits can be obtained from continuing education offered by the FKQ and/or other organizations recognized by the FKQ. In order to facilitate your task of analyzing the credits granted to your course, the FKQ Continuing Education Committee gives you access to an equivalency grid.

For each* of your courses at Bia education, you will receive a certificate of participation confirming the number of hours of course received.

*Excluding course not accessible to kinesiologists, this exclusion will be mentioned in the course description.

Kinesiologist-kinesitherapist, A.K.K.O.M.Q.

All members of the A.K.K.O.M.Q. must accumulate continuing education units. The association intends to ensure the safety and quality of kinesiology and kinesiology-kinesitherapy interventions, by requiring its members to maintain and improve their knowledge through the many continuing education courses offered annually, and to put their skills into practice while respecting the code of ethics. Credits can be obtained from continuing education offered by the FKQ and/or other organizations recognized by the FKQ.

For each* of your courses at Bia education, you will receive a certificate of participation confirming the number of hours of course received.

*Excluding course not accessible to kinesitherapists, this exclusion will be mentioned in the course description.

Physiotherapist and physiotherapy technologist, OPPQ

In the case of physiotherapists, each member must have a minimum of 45 hours of continuing education units (CEU) during the reference period, which is three years. Of these 45 hours, at least 30 hours must be accumulated in formal learning activities. The remaining continuing education hours can be accumulated in autonomous, formal learning activities or in a combination of both categories.

A CEU is equivalent to one hour of course, which is the actual time spent by the member to acquire or update his or her knowledge or skills. In the context of a formal activity, the member is in a learning situation when acting as a participant. Time spent on breaks, meals or any other activity without academic content should therefore be subtracted from the calculation of CEUs.

A formal learning activity is defined as an activity designed and delivered by experts in the subject matter and with a predetermined structure, content, objectives and duration. All the course offered by Bia education are therefore likely to be considered as a formal learning activity. During your course at Bia education, you will receive a certificate attesting to the number of hours of continuous education granted to the event.

Then, it is the physiotherapist’s role to define whether the suggested training theme is related to his or her practice and will allow him or her to optimize his or her professional competence.
