Upon completion of this continuing education seminar, participants will be able to:

1. List key parts of the central and peripheral nervous systems

2. Identify brain regions and regulation of neurologic and pelvic function

3. Understand spinal cord segments, communication tracts, reflexes, plexuses, and contributions to pelvic function

4. List neurotransmitters and their contributions to brain functionality and pelvic function

5. Understand the parasympathetic, sympathetic and autonomic nervous system contributions to pelvic function

6. Describe pelvic visceral function and nervous system control

7. Understand the pelvic genitalia, innervation, and hormonal influence on pelvic function

8. Identify neurological pathways related to pelvic function

9. Determine strategies for therapeutic evaluation and interventions for urologic complications of neurogenic bladder, for gastrointestinal complications in neurogenic bowel, and neurogenic sexual health considerations when neurologic interruptions impact sexual functionality

10. Through clinical reasoning, determine when to refer or consult for further neurologic medical assessment

11. Develop advanced bladder or bowel training programs for complex overactive bladder, urinary retention, catheter weaning, constipation, and incontinence

12. Discern when pelvic floor rehabilitation may be appropriate in persons with neurological conditions such as Multiple Sclerosis, Spinal Cord Injury, and Parkinson disease

13. Identify evidenced based rehabilitative evaluative and treatment interventions for persons with neurological conditions such as Multiple Sclerosis, Spinal Cord Injury, and Parkinson disease

14. Understand when to appropriately consider recovery vs compensatory techniques
