<\/figure>\n\n\n\nDuring the workshop, students, together with the speaker, explored what can undermine the rehabilitation process within just a few days: pressure ulcers, contractures, injuries during patient transfer, chronic pain, and patient exhaustion. Even a minor positioning error can set a patient back by weeks \u2014 this is not a hypothesis but a daily reality in clinical practice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Special attention was given to working with veterans. Many of them live with the consequences of amputations, spinal cord injuries, traumatic brain injuries, and post-traumatic stress disorder. In this context, Solomiia \u043f\u043e\u0434\u0440\u043e\u0431\u043d\u043e explained the principles of a trauma-informed approach: the importance of explaining every action, offering patients a choice, and consistently maintaining a sense of safety.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Participants also focused on the principles of DIPPS \u2014 dignity, independence, preferences, privacy, and safety. These seemingly simple guidelines shape a different perspective on care, helping professionals see beyond the diagnosis and recognize a person with their own boundaries, fears, and right to choose.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The practical part included an overview of the SSKIN protocol \u2014 a key tool in the daily work of a physical therapist. Proper support surfaces, regular skin inspection, continuous movement, moisture control, and adequate hydration form the foundation without which no therapeutic exercises can achieve the desired results. Safe patient transfer techniques and common mistakes to avoid were also discussed in detail.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The atmosphere of the event was warm, focused, and genuinely engaging. Students actively participated in discussions, asked challenging questions, and shared their own observations and experiences. Many admitted that they had not fully realized how significantly basic care affects rehabilitation outcomes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n We sincerely thank the Come Back Alive Initiatives Center, Ivan Franko Homes, and the Lviv Medical Professional College of Postgraduate Education for their valuable knowledge, support, and the opportunity to share practical expertise with future specialists. It is through such meetings that professional responsibility begins \u2014 and rehabilitation that truly works takes shape.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" On April 3, 2026, a special workshop for bachelor\u2019s students of the \u201cTherapy and Rehabilitation\u201d program was held at the Department of Physical Therapy, Occupational…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":16,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_gspb_post_css":"","_uag_custom_page_level_css":"","editor_plus_copied_stylings":"{}","footnotes":""},"categories":[3227],"tags":[3230,3491,3231,3232,3233,3228],"class_list":["post-182559","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news-en","tag-vyshha-medychna-osvita-en","tag-nauka-en","tag-osvita-en","tag-ternopil-en","tag-ternopilskyj-meduniversytet-en","tag-tnmu-en"],"uagb_featured_image_src":{"full":false,"thumbnail":false,"medium":false,"medium_large":false,"large":false,"1536x1536":false,"2048x2048":false,"alm-thumbnail":false},"uagb_author_info":{"display_name":"\u0427\u0430\u0439\u043a\u0456\u0432\u0441\u044c\u043a\u0430 \u042f\u043d\u0456\u043d\u0430 \u041c\u0438\u0440\u043e\u0441\u043b\u0430\u0432\u0456\u0432\u043d\u0430","author_link":"https:\/\/www.tdmu.edu.ua\/en\/blog\/author\/pressluzba\/"},"uagb_comment_info":0,"uagb_excerpt":"On April 3, 2026, a special workshop for bachelor\u2019s students of the \u201cTherapy and Rehabilitation\u201d program was held at the Department of Physical Therapy, Occupational…","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.tdmu.edu.ua\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/182559","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.tdmu.edu.ua\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.tdmu.edu.ua\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.tdmu.edu.ua\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/16"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.tdmu.edu.ua\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=182559"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.tdmu.edu.ua\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/182559\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":182563,"href":"https:\/\/www.tdmu.edu.ua\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/182559\/revisions\/182563"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.tdmu.edu.ua\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=182559"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.tdmu.edu.ua\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=182559"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.tdmu.edu.ua\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=182559"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.tdmu.edu.ua\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/image003-4-819x460.jpg\")
