Welcome to the APTA Nebraska Podcast, where we dive into the stories, challenges, and innovations shaping physical therapy in our state. We are here to advance, promote, and protect the practice of physical therapy, optimizing the health and quality of life for all Nebraskans. Join us as we connect with experts, share insights, and build community throughout our profession. Welcome back to the APTA Nebraska podcast. I'm your host, Brad Dexter, and we have a more unique podcast coming at you in this episode. We really wanted to try to highlight some of the things that were going on at our state APTA Nebraska conference this spring. And so we have a few different uh elements to the episode. We're going to start off with uh just getting some of the key takeaways from the business meeting from our president Nick Weber. So Nick will walk us through some of the things that were discussed during that time if you're unable to attend the conferences here. And then we really tried to highlight the folks that had poster presentations, namely individuals that have received scientific dissemination awards through the Nebraska Foundation for Physical Therapy. And lastly, we wanted to give a little bit of airtime to our main sponsors of the event, Lim Lab and Hangar. And so again, this is a little bit different. You might hear some crowd noise in the background in a few of these interviews, but really just trying to in a condensed fashion uh highlight some of the good things that were happening at the conference and the discussions that are being had uh among our profession within the state too. So I hope that even though it's a little bit more unique, that there are some good things for y'all here to uh to listen to or be refreshed on, and uh hope to bring you some more conversations uh out of the discussions that were had at this meeting in the coming year, too. So I hope you enjoy.

SPEAKER_05

I want to start with just thanking our podcast listeners. We've really enjoyed being able to engage with our membership in a new way over this past year. And so with that, I want to share a few key points from the business meeting before we get into some of the conference highlights. The business meeting started by uh recognizing three wonderful women uh through our award process, uh, starting with our educator of the year, which was Tessa Wells this year, uh, for all the great work she does at UNMC. We also recognize Jen Burusima as our clinician of excellence uh for her work at the Innovate Rehab and Wellness. And then lastly, uh we recognize Heidi Rilfs as our Mary Ellen Sachsedter Award recipient, our highest honor, and uh just a phenomenal opportunity to read her nomination letters from um maybe a dozen or more people, um, all speaking just to the significance of her work at Monroe Meyer and then the pediatric residency program, um, as well as her work with uh you know pediatric patients, and um, even got an opportunity to read some letters uh from some of the people that she's treated over the years. And so it's just an abundance of work that she's done um to support our profession and uh APT Nebraska. So uh just a great up great experience for me uh to be able to deliver those awards to three wonderful women and to really thank them for a job well done over many years of work. We also thanked uh Katie Shallone and Brent Todd for their service to APT Nebraska. Katie completed a four-year term as the secretary for the board, and Brent completed a 12-year uh stint as our uh federal affairs liaison. Um so I want to thank both of them uh for all the service that they've provided to APT Nebraska and hope we can get them back when kind of life allows in the future. Then we went on to talk about uh just some of the meaningful work that took place in 2025. We've continued to try to build a number of relationships uh with healthcare providers and partners throughout the community. Uh so some of you might have seen us at uh like the Nebraska Arthritis Foundation events, uh like Walk to Cure Arthritis or Jingle Bell Run. We were also at Husker Harvest Days this past year and got an opportunity to get in front of the thousands of people that attend Husker Harvest Days, and we'll we'll plan to do that again this year. Um, we're also looking to um help recruit a little bit through that event uh to for our next generation of providers. Uh, we recognize that there's something like 3,000 students uh that come through that event as part of a uh maybe like say class field trip. So um we're looking to do a better job this year at just reaching them while we're at that event as well. Uh you may have heard an advertisement from us at the College World Series and other things like that as well. And so uh we're just trying to do more and more uh to kind of get the word out about choose PT and you know, just that our availability in the community as a direct access provider. And so uh continue to look for opportunities like that and share them with us. Uh, we want to take advantage of those the best opportunities that we can uh to kind of use our financial resources appropriately. Then we got uh an update from the board and uh heard from Betsy Becker on just some of the new things that are going on with them. Probably the biggest update was around uh the new version of the jurisprudence prudence exam. Uh so for new licensees, uh there was a kind of a new way of doing that, and you can find that link uh through the Nebraska DHHS website, uh, which will take you actually to the FSBPT website to uh do the new version of the jurisprudence. For those of you that are already licensed, you no longer have to do the jurisprudence exam uh every time you renew, but uh it is probably worth just checking it out as well. Um, and there's an opportunity to get five CEUs from doing that when if you need them. Uh, but just a great this new system allows you to kind of be more familiar with like the entirety of our scope of practice, for example. Um, and if there's anything that you're unsure on, this new system will kind of take you right into the the rules and rags and show you specifically where things are stated. So uh just uh a new, more modernized version of doing what many of us had have done for many years. We also heard from Rochelle Hoffman and the foundation uh who are doing really well, um, have some new individuals involved in in that group and uh very motivated to make sure that they are uh recognizing and supporting uh the varieties of research that are taking place in Nebraska. Um and they also took the time to uh thank some of their big donors that they have uh had in recent years, as well as uh share that you know they have a little bit more efficient way of taking donations for those that want to support that work. Um, you can find the QR code to that on the APT Nebraska website if you're interested in supporting that work. Then um we talked a little bit about some of the legislative victories that we've had over the last year or so. Um, things around like being able to draw down more federal funds to support our Medicaid program. Uh, we also helped support uh LB77, which was around uh some just creating more clarity around prior authorizations. Uh, and then just in the last week, uh our 2026 legislative priority passed, uh, which was around allowing PTs to apply medical liens for the work that they do with patients, say after car accidents or different types of trauma, um, to ensure just that payment is secured and allow patients to start that, start that rehab right away. Um, so really excited about some of our legislative victories in recent years. And then probably the most time was spent around uh the budget and our strategic framework going forward. So, first with the budget, uh we've been very successful over the last five years to always have a little bit of profit, and we've done a nice job of saving that and investing as well. Um, and so I think over the accumulation of the last five years, uh, we've made a little over$40,000. And so we're starting to look on how we can reinvest that in a positive way. Uh, so some time was spent talking about uh different advertisement marketing opportunities for us as a profession. One of the things we're really interested in doing is partnering with Husker Athletics. Uh for say a radio advertisement spot, we're looking at uh covering the injury report for football, volleyball, men's and women's basketball, uh, and baseball and softball. So we might see uh when we send out the the budget for 2026 that for the first time in a long time, we're actually expecting a uh deficit. And that's only because we're looking, again, to spend more money on ourselves from a marketing and promotion standpoint. Um, but we're looking to use those funds that we've saved over the last five years. So it's still uh being very fiscally responsible. But rather than just continuing to put money away, looking to really utilize it in a positive way. So please take the time to look at that email that'll be coming out in the very near future. And then lastly, uh we released our strategic framework for 2030. And a lot of it was in align, uh kind of compliance with APTA's new strategic framework. So we're looking for opportunities to where we can be in synced um and actually kind of promote that work that's being done at the national level, uh, but also you know address some of the important priorities that we have here at the state level. And so a lot of that comes back to you know, advocacy and communication is these kind of primary themes that trickle down into really what we believe is everything we do from the sense of trying to support salaries through reimbursement, trying to uh make sure patients continue to have access to our care, to reduce administrative burden, all of these things we we feel strongly that our priorities have to be advocacy and communicating with our members uh to activate you all to come and speak and and do the necessary work uh for the stakeholders that really matter in some of these fights, to talk directly to payers and legislators and inform them on the value of our services and how when we're not supported, uh, you know, it's kind of bigger things, bigger problems can happen. And then lastly, you know, the framework really focused on uh from an engagement standpoint, make sure that we're continuing to provide you guys the resources that you need uh to be the you know best clinicians possible, uh to share resources from APTA, uh, to share CPGs when they're when they're brought forward, as well as just help you all connect and creating network events. And so we're also really proud of what our Nebraska Student Special Interest Group has been doing, as well as our early professional group. Um, excited about some of their new motivated leaders and just the work that they're doing uh to really start to show connection and networking and development opportunities from a leadership standpoint, uh, as just a new clinician or early professional, um, so that we can all kind of grow and feel connected. Uh, because it really is this is APTA is really meant to be a place for all of us, um, a place of belonging. And so we're we're excited about just all the leaders that we currently have, those that have committed their time to APT Nebraska and are continuing to look for more and more people to get involved. So lastly, I just want to finish with a note about our nominating committee. We recognize that in order to achieve our goals laid out in our strategic framework, we need to have a strong foundation. And for me, that really means having a nominating committee that is out there identifying potential leaders, making sure that we have succession planning in place as current leaders kind of roll out of their positions and that the work can just continue on and that there's not this big uh pause to get the next person up to speed. So we've identified three new leaders for our nominating committee. They will be out networking and they will be readily available. So for those of you that uh recognize leaders, whether it's in school or at your place of employment, uh we welcome nominations for all of our positions and want to make sure we just have the right people in the right place. So please uh reach out to them. We'll we'll make sure their emails are readily available so that you can get in touch with them. Um we're also asking that that they have a presence like in our town hall events, our district meetings, things like that, so that they can share what roles are open and describe those roles to you in detail to make sure that it's a good fit for those of you that that want to contribute, and and we hope that you do. Um so please, you know, reach out to them and uh let us know you know how we can support you and the work that you're interested in doing.

SPEAKER_06

All right, can you say your name for me and where you're from?

SPEAKER_04

Uh my name is Quentin Vassa, and I'm from Nebraska City.

SPEAKER_06

And where are you in PT school at right now?

SPEAKER_04

Uh I'm a third-year PT student at Creighton, um, and I'll graduate here in about a month.

SPEAKER_06

All right, so Quentin, I'm standing here with you uh next to your poster. It's improving physical activity of individuals with mild cognitive impairment and care partners, a descriptive study. I want to know a little bit about the poster, but I also know that you got a scientific dissemination grant through the Nebraska Foundation for Physical Therapy. So uh one, maybe give our audience just a brief overview of the research that's on this poster and why it's important to practice. And then I have another follow-up question for you after that, okay.

SPEAKER_04

Okay. So basically, in this study, we identified individuals with mild cognitive impairment and then took them and their care partner and gave them a 12-week tele-rehabilitation, physical activity, behavioral intervention outline, which essentially was uh over Zoom and working on actionable changes of behaviors using control theory, social cognitive theory, and operating conditioning. So things like utilizing a Fitbit, um connection to self-monitoring, discussion of personal barriers, and all that type of stuff, um, looking to create an actionable change so that people get up and move more and are less sedentary because we know that movement and physical activity is going to impede the progression of dementia. Um and I think this is just another way for in this growing world, finding ways to reach people who are in small towns and like can't get to care. Um, just give us another option through like tele rehabilitation and like through Zoom. Um and we actually did see some good changes, even though it was a small sample size, um, like changes in the amount that people were stepping, the amount of time that they were sitting was less, their total amount of time was like increased. Um, yeah. So I think the overall just trying to change people's behaviors and create a lasting change rather than just giving them a workout program and then they quit three weeks later.

SPEAKER_06

That's uh no great synopsis. I really appreciate that. Now you took this poster to CSM and presented at CSM as well. You got a scientific dissemination grant for that, which a lot of the times we're awarding those grants uh to create the opportunity to be able to go present information like this, right? So can you maybe just talk about from the student's perspective, what was it like to go to CSM? Had you been there before, um, and what was that experience like? Why was it valuable to be able to uh utilize that grant to get there and share your information?

SPEAKER_04

Yeah, first I want to thank anybody who's like associated with the grant because it was very, very helpful because CSM is by no means cheap. Um and especially going to Anaheim in California, everything's very expensive. Um so it was really helpful. And like I was kind of on the fence of like, should I go or not? And then I think that kind of was the final start of like, okay, I can like afford to go and do it, especially being a student. Um and I think, sorry, was the other part of the question? More just like Yeah, what was CSM like? Oh, and CSM is crazy. I I I had never been, and just seeing that many physical therapists in one spot was insane. Um, so many cool talks, so many cool things. Um, I learned so much just as a student and as a future clinician. I feel like I got better at like what I'll eventually do. Um, and just like keeping up to date with the research was great. Um, highly recommend for anyone who has never been. And if you're on the fence about going, just do it. Um, because I didn't go last year and I really regret it after going this year.

SPEAKER_06

So, two more questions for you. One, did you make sure that your poster was level when you put it up when you were there? And two, what was maybe the best conversation you had at your poster?

SPEAKER_04

Um, I did make sure it was level. I had I had a female check it because I I don't trust my own eyes. Um, and I trust a woman's gaze more than my own. Um, and then best conversation I had was ooh, there was like someone next to me that we had we talked for like the whole time we were there, and we just talked a ton about my poster, her poster, um, and then just like got to know her really well. She went to a school somewhere in Virginia, I can't remember now, but just getting to know her, like all her research was really cool. I can't the actual discussion of the conversation I can't really remember.

SPEAKER_06

That that's okay. Um, I I love getting to meet new people at places like that and kind of hearing what practice looks like in their own uh in their own areas as well. So, Quinn, uh great work and uh thanks for sharing a little bit about your uh your study here that you're a part of and uh why the scientific dissemination grant was important to you.

SPEAKER_04

Yeah. Yep. Thanks, Brad.

SPEAKER_06

All right, so I'm at another poster with Taylor Ramakers. Uh Taylor, your poster is sex differences in gait and squat biomechanics after ACL reconstruction. Can you tell me more? Because all I can see is the title slide right here.

SPEAKER_01

Yes. So we know that there's differences in outcomes between males and females after an ACL reconstruction, but there's not a lot of literature on specifically biomechanical differences. So that was kind of our goal was to add some well-powered evidence of differences between males and females related to biomechanics. Um and we also got to add some squat data because there's really no squat data um compared between males and females right now.

SPEAKER_06

Now you have to take this to CSM. Was it a poster? Was it a platform presentation? What what happened?

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, so I got to do a platform presentation, um, which was a big honor because they only accepted 15% of applications this year. So that was a really good opportunity for me as a student.

SPEAKER_06

What was it like getting up and talking in front of a room of people like that?

SPEAKER_01

It was pretty terrifying. I was more scared for the questions after. I had practiced a lot and got a lot of constructive criticism from Liz beforehand. So I wasn't too worried about the presentation, but it went pretty well.

SPEAKER_06

Good. So you you got to partner with Dr. Liz Wellsand and uh you got to go to CSM. You received a scientific dissemination grant from the Nebraska Foundation for Physical Therapy, which enabled you to do a lot of that, right? So congratulations on that and thanks for presenting your research there too. Uh can you, last thing for you, can you just tell us maybe something you enjoyed about CSM, a fun conversation you had, something that you learned, uh, and then we'll leave it at that.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah. Um, I think it was just really fun to go to some unique uh talks. I got to go to a few talks on wilderness PT and treating like backcountry athletes, which was kind of an area of PT that I'd never heard of and never knew about. So that was a really cool opportunity.

SPEAKER_06

Awesome. Thanks for your time. I'm at another poster presentation with Chris Johnson. Chris uh is a professor at Creighton University and teaches in the exercise science and pre-health professions department there. Uh Chris, can you tell us a little bit about the poster presentation that you had at CSM and that you have here?

SPEAKER_03

Yeah. Um the title of our project was targeting center of pressure as a biomechanical alteration following ACL Reconstruction. Um, and what we looked at was uh patients following uh ACL reconstruction um immediately upon being able to wait there at 50% um as approved by their surgeon or uh their their standard protocol, um, we implemented a squat protocol to um introduce visual biofeedback to our control group, or excuse me, to our test group. And um over the course of eight weeks at two times uh two times a week, um our patients would would squat with this visual biofeedback program. Um we initially started with uh a ground reaction force biofeedback and we progressed to center pressure feedback. Um and then we did a combination GRF and COP. Um and so we have a previous project kind of demonstrating the efficacy of the protocol with ground reaction force. And so we wanted to see if the program was as effective for center of pressure. Um and while we saw some natural improvement in center of pressure um over the course of the protocol, we didn't see the the changes that we we thought we may see. Um and so that's you know, which also gave us an answer, right? And so we needed to now look and see well, how can we continue to tweak? This program um maintain these good GRF results while improving what we saw with COP. And so that led to a lot of good um discussion out in uh Anaheim at CSM um following the presentation with with um other clinicians and researchers just uh kind of brainstorming ideas on you know ways and and and ideas of how to um really tackle this the COP question a little bit clearer and a little bit better.

SPEAKER_06

That's fantastic. Thank you. And so that was a that was a platform presentation that you gave. Uh did you have a poster as well?

SPEAKER_03

Um I was uh I was a poster presenter for a different project. Um another uh this the same team that I'm on um had a project uh poster presentation on uh grit and its uh correlation to um quadricep strength. And so we saw it was really interesting. Um we saw a really strong correlation between uh high levels of grit in patients and um the ability to recover quad strength a little bit a little bit quicker. Um again, a lot of interesting, interesting conversation came with that. One of the more interesting things that that kind of led to was um a lot of physical therapy faculty talking about how they implemented grit studies in either the application process of their PT students um or um used it to kind of identify students that may have a little bit more difficulty in their first year. Um so while it kind of veered off of um you know the rehab world a little bit, uh it was interesting to talk uh to some of these faculty members about how grit can influence um uh students, you know, as I say, stick toitiveness, you know, the like the basketball term kind of right um with with school and their studies in the first year.

SPEAKER_06

So that's that's excellent. So I I know you were awarded a scientific dissemination award through the Nebraska Foundation for Physical Therapy, uh, which you you've been a clinician for a long time, you owned your own clinic for about a decade, right? Built that built that up. Uh, and you told me this was your first time at CSM. What was uh so great opportunity to get out there with a scientific dissemination grant. Um, but what was the experience at CSM like? And and uh uh what were maybe some of your highlights?

SPEAKER_03

Yeah. Um, you know, really thankful to get the scientific uh dissemination award. Um I probably would not have um, you know, been able to go out for the full uh conference without that. Um just would have made it a little bit more difficult to um so being able to have that award allowed me to go out really kind of dive into the whole CSM experience. Um and it, you know, the the networking, the people that I was able to meet. Um you you uh you sit in the clinic and you hear about some of these clinicians or you know, researchers, and you read these articles. Um so to actually kind of meet them and put uh put a face to the name was really, really cool. Um I'm excited to to get back to CSM again. Um and like I mentioned before, just the ability to kind of share the work that our team has done um under the direction of Dr. Uh Wellsant, Dr. Liz Wellsant, um and just to be able to have some discussions and you know we present the the the things that we've been working on and um and really kind of you know explore ideas of how we can continue to uh move this project forward and do some exciting things down the road.

SPEAKER_06

Good work, Chris. Thanks for the conversation.

unknown

Thank you.

SPEAKER_06

All right, so I'm here at the Lim Lab booth with Vince Lau. Um Lim Lab is our key sponsor at the APTA Nebraska conference this year. Vince, thank you for that. Thank you to Lim Lab as well. Um can you talk to our audience a little bit about where you guys are located and just some of the work that you guys are doing?

SPEAKER_02

Yeah, so Lim Lab is a prosthetic and orthotic company. We have offices in Omaha and in Lincoln. We do remote clinics as well in West Point and York, and uh even recently went out to Scotts Bluff for one. Um we really like focusing on custom devices that are going to provide these unique solutions for the unique problems that our patients come to us with. Uh, one of the things that we have that is actually exclusive for us is the Carbon Hand. So this is a grasp-assistive device by a company called BioServo out of Sweden. Um, where we've been working with them for the past couple of years, providing this device for anybody who has uh either like a peripheral nerve injury, possibly neuromuscular conditions, or even tremors to help them hold on to something. If you check out our social media, you can actually see a video where we've got a farmer in the Lincoln area that we fit with a custom glove, and that really helps highlight what this device is and how it can help individuals return back to doing what they want to do.

SPEAKER_06

It's really awesome. It's uh it's like a soft exoskeleton, right? So um you you put it on and it helps with grasp. I was also kind of struck by uh you have a it's a dorsiflexion dorsiflexion assist sock. So it's almost like, you know, audience, you can visualize a compression stocking. Um there's an anchor point uh up above the calf with a strap. And then in the same way that you might use um a SABO step or another dorsiflexion assist device, this is just a it's a sock that goes over foot and ankle up your calf, and then there's uh a little um rotation device that you tighten up the cables that are embedded into the sock, and it helps bring the foot and ankle uh and keep it into dorsiflexion. So it feels like there could be a lot of application with that too.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah, so that's the step sock by Elevate Movement. It's something that we provide, but also patients can just cash pay straight from uh their website, which is dropfoot.com. Amazing that they're able to get that. Um if they the patient goes in and uses the code L L O M A for Lim Lab Omaha, it'll save them 15%. So a$200 sock becomes$170. It's a really good secondary device if the patient already has an AFO. It's only gonna provide help for the sagittal plane motion. It's not gonna give you that coronal stability, but it's an amazing option for somebody who just wants to walk around the house and not have that foot drop, or even if you think about inpatient rehab, have a immediate device that's gonna help lift up that foot if we're not sure if the patient's gonna need an AFO in the long term.

SPEAKER_06

Vince, thanks again for uh your creativity, for the way you serve um some of the same patients that we work with across the state, and for sponsoring our conference and just being a good partner in general.

Hanger Partnership And Free Continuing Education

SPEAKER_02

Absolutely happy to be here.

SPEAKER_06

All right, I'm here at the Hangar Booth with Audrey Sherman. Hanger is one of our sponsors for the APTA Nebraska um conference this year. Thank you for doing that. Uh, I would love to just hear a little bit more about Hangar, uh, why you guys choose to help sponsor our conference, and uh then I have one more question for you after that, okay?

SPEAKER_00

Sounds good. Thank you so much for having us. It's an absolute honor to be here supporting uh the APTA again this year. Um so a little bit about Hangar. We are um a nationwide company. We are in all 50 states, and we offer um orthotic and prosthetic services head to toe, um, all age ranges. So definitely um the nation's leader as far as those care that care and service. Um a little bit about what we um are working on as far as upcoming things. We have some very exciting things in the works um as far as partnering with our therapy teams.

SPEAKER_06

Um top secret, I'm hearing. So stay tuned, audience, because these things will be coming up. And and Audrey, just um for the listener, Audrey has two friends sitting her sitting here with her that you know chose not to talk. So she's the she's the trooper that's talking in this interview. Um Audrey, thanks. You guys do great work. Um we'll have to we'll have to hang in there and wait for the the secret top secret news that's coming out too. Um but you guys have developed a lot of great relationships uh throughout the state uh with a number of people, and you're giving me a hand signal that you have one more thing that you want to say, so it's coming back to you.

SPEAKER_00

Thank you. I did want to just add that we are definitely um a partner for therapists. Um we offer a lot of resources, continuing education courses um that are free. Um, some are more advanced, so we have options for that as well. So a lot of different um continuing education and resources. We also have a lot of uh resources for our patients, so pretty much all things, anything we are your go-to.
