Course Description:

This course is designed to assist physical therapists in constructing treatment and rehabilitation of programs for patients with a variety of musculoskeletal shoulder pathologies. The presenter will establish a foundation for the principles of rehabilitation by outlining current basic and clinical science evidence used in the treatment of complex orthopaedic shoulder pathologies. Lecture and laboratory experiences will be employed throughout the weekend. Complex case studies will be used as examples of how to manage patients with difficult shoulder pathologies.

Learning Objectives:

At completion of this program, the participants will be able to:
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
Design an evidenced-based therapeutic exercise program for a variety of shoulder pathologies.
