A Message from BIAMI's Board Chair

Dear Conference Attendees:

Welcome to the year's Brain Injury Association of Michigan’s 40th Annual Fall Conference, held in conjunction with the Michigan Brain Injury Provider Council. We recognize that, due to the circumstances that continue to affect our normal way of life, this year's virtual event will be presented in a much different way from the in- person conferences we have hosted in past years. Nonetheless, we have made every effort possible to deliver the same vital and cutting-edge information from experts in the brain injury rehabilitation industry to be viewed in the comfort and convenience of your home or office. And, as another important benefit, if you are unable to watch a session when it is presented live, there will be an opportunity to watch or re-watch recorded sessions until October 4. In addition to the relevant sessions, we also invite you to tour the Virtual Exhibit Hall where you find important and educational information on our industry's businesses, providers and organizations - many of whom have attended past conferences. We also have several entertaining, informal events planned for the Virtual Happy Hour (see schedule for times), and we hope you will join us for a chance to relax and have some fun. Your commitment to supporting the mission of the Brain Injury Association of Michigan is appreciated more than ever this year as we work diligently to offer the same level of support and education in often challenging times. We truly thank you for your dedication to this important work, which directly affects the lives of vulnerable people in our great state. On behalf of brain injury survivors, their families, the Brain Injury Association of Michigan board of directors and staff, as well as the Michigan Brain Injury Provider Council, thank you and, once again, welcome to the 40th Annual Fall Conference.

Sincerely,

Tammy Hannah Board Chair, Brain Injury Association of Michigan President/CEO of Origami Brain Injury Rehabilitation Center

2020 Conference Planning Committee

A1 - Infection Control Planning Unfortunately, this session is no longer available. We apologize for the inconvenience. B1 - Buffalo Concussion Treadmill Test Uses in Acute Concussion and Post Concussion Syndrome Presented by: Karley Glashauser, DPT, CBIS, CCI, SCCE, CF-L1 and Emily Wolf, DPT Following concussion early initiation of exercise rehab has been found to be safe and beneficial when performed at appropriate thresholds and monitored by a knowledgeable clinician. Use of a standardized test such as the Buffalo Concussion Treadmill Test provides clinicians with a safe diagnostic tool as well as aids in establishing an appropriate intensity level of exercise program tailored to the individual. Modifications to a standard exercise program must be made for concussion patients with comorbidities such as POTs.

D1 - Bladder/Bowel Dysfunction After TBI and Advances in Management Presented by: Ayman Tarabishy, MD

Clinical, Medical/Physical

Urinary and bowel dysfunction are not uncommon after traumatic brain injury. They have a significant impact on the survivor’s quality of life. Dysfunction of neural circuits controlling bowel/bladder function after traumatic brain injury can be challenging to manage, many of the oral medications (especially anticholinergics) have adverse effects on cognition and memory, and some are implicated in developing Alzheimer’s disease. Nonpharmacological alternatives like biofeedback, pelvic rehab, sacral neuromodulation, amongst others as solutions to these issues will be discussed.

E1 - Review of the REAP Manual Presented by: Karen McAvoy, PsyD

Clinical, Pediatrics

R*E*A*P is an inter-disciplinary team approach to concussion management. It outlines the 4 steps that 4 teams need to coordinate with each other to ensure a quick and successful return to school, return to learn and return to play for the school-aged student.

F1 - The Role of Exercise in Improving Depression Symptoms in Those with TBI Presented by: James Dolbow, DO, MS, BS, BA

Clinical, Psychosocial

The session will outline the effect and prevalence of TBI on depression, and why. It will then continue into how depression is traditionally treated in these patients, and how this compares to non-TBI patients with neurological trauma, such as spinal cord injury patients and patients with neurodegenerative disease. The session will then go into what my most recent research has found, which is “How does exercise affect the mental health, specifically depression in TBI patients” (Manuscript currently in peer-review). >Page 1 Page 2 Page 3 Page 4 Page 5 Page 6 Page 7 Page 8 Page 9 Page 10 Page 11 Page 12 Page 13 Page 14 Page 15 Page 16 Page 17 Page 18 Page 19 Page 20 Page 21 Page 22 Page 23 Page 24 Page 25 Page 26 Page 27 Page 28 Page 29 Page 30 Page 31 Page 32 Page 33 Page 34 Page 35 Page 36 Page 37 Page 38 Page 39 Page 40 Page 41 Page 42 Page 43 Page 44 Page 45 Page 46 Page 47 Page 48
