Art or Science: Musculoskeletal Management of Hemophilia for Physical Therapists

Speakers: Alice Anderson, PT, DPT, PCS; Moderator: Eileen San Juan, MS, PT

Art or Science: You are the PT. You know anatomy and kinesiology. You know the basic pathophysiology of hemophilia. But what recommendations will you provide for the person with a bleeding disorder who is sitting in front of you? RICE? Don’t participate in collision sports? This session focuses on what we know, what we think we know, and what we hope we know about an evidence-based approach to the musculoskeletal management of persons with bleeding disorders.

I Don’t Need a Support Group, I have Facebook! Pros & Cons of a Social Media Support System

Speakers: Edward Kuebler, LCSW; Sonji Wilkes; Tom Joseph; January W. Payne; Christie VanHorne, MEd, MPH

Social media offers the opportunity to “meet” others with your rare disease, to relay experiences and search for answers for those difficult questions. The potential is endless! But how much is too much? The collection of personal data is a real danger. While it is important to decipher inaccurate information from unverifiable sources, social media is the reality of our time. We discuss the role social media plays in the bleeding disorders community, the importance of privacy and the benefits of being online.

We look at data from the National Pain Study and discuss non-pharmacological approaches to pain management with an emphasis on collaborating with your hemophilia treatment center for optimal pain management options. We learn to recognize the many different types of hemophilia pain and understand how different non-pharmacological strategies can assist in pain management. In addition, we identify how teens may differ in their expression of pain.
