Throughout the day, participants will learn about pathology, epidemiology, stages of the disease, medical management, implementation of treatment strategy, in addition to viewing a Parkinson patient demonstration of strategies. The cost to attend is $135 for physical therapist assistants (PTAs), physical therapists (PTs) and doctors of physical therapy (DPTs).
