Neurologic clinical practice guidelines (CPGs) are becoming more accepted in neurologic rehabilitation as a means for elevating practice, but clinical predictions rules (CPRs) are also starting to emerge in this area of practice. Evidence indicates that most physical therapy clinicians, educators, and students don’t feel comfortable utilizing CPRs, and those individuals who do feel confident with them are largely focused on musculoskeletal based CPRs. This webinar will compare CPGs and CPRs, and it will discuss how CPRs can be utilized to inform a clinician’s decision-making process when working with individuals post-traumatic SCI. The session will review clinical predictions rules focuses on the likelihood a patient will return to walking at 1 year post injury. Case application will be provided and opportunities to discuss challenges and solutions for implementing the CPR in practice will be presented.
