What’s In Your Patient’s Medicine Cabinet: What Every Rehabilitation Specialist Should Know
WEBINAR DESCRIPTION
What do you know about the medications that your patients take? Or how many is too many? This webinar will answer these common questions that every healthcare professional should consider regarding the impact of medications on a patient’s performance during their rehabilitation journey. We will introduce pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics through basic concepts of pharmacology. We will further examine the specific impact of varying agents used to treat conditions such as spasticity, hypertension and pain as well as medications with increased fall risks.
