Ken Venaco, Sarah Zahler, and Madison Catalano discuss upcoming Degenerative Diseases Special Interest Group (DDSIG) content at APTA Combined Sections Meeting 2026 in Anaheim, California. Using a March Madness basketball tournament framework as their organizational structure, they preview sessions across multiple categories: 'Hometown Heroes' (return speakers), 'Seasoned Teams' (established excellence), and other programming. Topics include normal pressure hydrocephalus management, exercise prescription for MS and Parkinson's, cognitive integration in physical therapy, digital health for neurodegenerative diseases, and clinical practice guidelines for balance and falls prevention. The panel emphasizes clinically actionable content, immediate practice application, and opportunities to network with leaders in neurological rehabilitation.
