Putting ACR Osteoarthritis Guidelines into Practice:
Clinical Applications for the Hip and Knee c/r PM
PS
Moderator: Donald R. Miller, PharmD; North Dakota State
University; Fargo, ND
Speakers: G. Kelley Fitzgerald, PhD, PT; University of Pittsburgh;
Pittsburgh, PA
Carol A. Oatis, PT, PhD; Arcadia University; Glenside, PA
Kyle Gibson; University of Missouri; Columbia, MO
Session Overview:
Osteoarthritis is the primary cause of physical disability in adults
and is a diagnosis commonly seen by therapists. Evidencebased
practice is a professional expectation, and the soon to be
released ACR Guidelines for the Management of Osteoarthritis
of the Hip, Knee and Hand, offer practitioners a rich resource
for clinical decision-making. However, the appropriate use of
evidence in practice requires both knowledge of the evidence
and skills to apply the evidence in a clinical setting. For a busy
practitioner, evidence-based practice behaviors are influenced
by a number of factors, including belief in the relevance of
the evidence and self-efficacy for evidence-based practice.
The purpose of this session is to provide therapists with the
knowledge and skills to effectively apply the ACR osteoarthritis
guidelines to management of hip and knee osteoarthritis in
clinical practice.
Upon completion of this session, participants should be able to:
• describe the clinical relevancy of the guidelines
• select best tests/measures and interventions consistent with
the guidelines
• determine client characteristics that influence response to
specific interventions
• describe treatment plans consistent with guideline
recommendations and specific patient characteristics

Teaching Our Pediatric Patients: Making the Complex
Simple P/C PS
Moderator: Karla B. Jones, MS, RN, CPNP; Nationwide Children’s
Hospital; Columbus, OH
Speakers: Sandra J. Watcher, BSN; Children’s Hospital of Los
Angeles; Los Angeles, CA
Session Overview:
Treatment success in children with rheumatic conditions
requires that both parents and the children have an
understanding of these very complex diseases. Health care
providers are faced with assessing and educating not only
the parents but the child or adolescent. This requires an
interdisciplinary team with specific skills to evaluate the child’s
psychological development level to best meet their educational
needs with those of their adult parents. In addition, determining
age appropriate materials that meet the needs of both children
and parents is essential.
