Description

This course is designed to assist the practicing therapist in the implementation of a comprehensive foot and ankle program. The first day will emphasize the basic and clinical sciences utilized in establishing a foundation for treatment of lower extremity dysfunction. A model for foot and ankle and lower extremity, examination will be updated and discussed on the first day. Day two will implement the examination and treatment model by emphasizing intervention strategies for a variety of lower extremity pathologies. Evidence-based examination and intervention strategies will be presented and discussed throughout the course

LEARNING OBJECTIVES:

Upon completion the participant will be able to demonstrate and have an understanding of:
Discuss the functional anatomy foundations for shoulder girdle complex examination and rehabilitation
Perform an observational movement analysis for the shoulder girdle complex
Correlate pathomechanical scapular movement patterns to muscular deficiencies
Compare and contrast the similarities and differences between the hypomobile and hypermobile shoulder
Differentiate between increased and decreased accessory motion at the shoulder joint complex
Describe the differences in anterior and posterior impingement at the glenohumeral joint
Examine the differences in anterior, posterior and multidirectional instability at the glenohumeral joint
Compare and contrast the examination and rehabilitation of glenoid labrum tears, acromioclavicular pathology and clavicle fractures
Diagram how principles of rehabilitation can be utilized in treatment of the majority of shoulder pathologies
