RSD In the News : FWD:links for clinical treatment guidelines and fyer for DVD campaign

> The RSDSA needs help raising money for A
> Continuing Medical Education program on DVD for physical and occupational
therapists that instructs them how to restore function in patients with
Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS).
>
>
> Our goal is to produce a 40-minute instructional DVD, in conjunction with
> the Rehabilitation Institute of Chicago (RIC). RIC practitioners
developed
> our recently published Treatment Guidelines (
> <http://rsds.org/3/clinical_guidelines/index.html>
> http://rsds.org/3/clinical_guidelines/index.html). Our DVD will provide
the
> therapist a step-by-step, evidence-based medicine clinical pathway. The
> instructional DVD will film therapists designing and implementing the
> functional restoration treatment plan with both children and adults
> suffering from CRPS.
>
>
>
> The DVD will be certified as a Continuing Medical Educational offering.
It
> will be streamed on our website which attracts 50,000 unique visitors each
> month and distributed at medical conferences.

>
> We believe the one thing that blocks recovery for many people with CRPS is
> that the majority of physical and occupational therapists, essential
members
> of the interdisciplinary team do not have theoretical and empirical
> experience in treating with this syndrome. As a consequence, many children
> and adults with CRPS do begin physical and occupational therapy but drop
> out.
