COURSE DESCRIPTION
This course provides the participants with advances in examination, evaluation, diagnosis, prognosis, treatment strategies and interventions and outcomes research for patients with selected shoulder conditions. Various principles of practice of the master clinician, such as clustering of signs and symptoms and using an algorithm-based process will be discussed and practiced. The clinical hands-on demonstrations will emphasize an algorithm-based clinical examination for efficient time management in the clinic. The scientific and clinical rationale (evidence-based practice) for rehabilitation strategies and progressions will be discussed. Participants can expect to learn innovative and creative treatment interventions with various shoulder conditions. Case studies will be presented to facilitate effective treatment planning. Suggested treatment protocols and outcome measures will be emphasized throughout the course. DVDs and CD-ROMs of examination and treatment techniques will be presented and discussed throughout the course. This is an interactive course that will provide didactic and psychomotor activities to encourage participants to integrate this information into the development of customized programs to enhance the quality care of their patients.
COURSE OBJECTIVES
Upon completion of the course, participants will be able to:
• Describe and demonstrate the process and components of an algorithm-based examination of the shoulder
• Evaluate the clusters of signs and symptoms that facilitates selecting appropriate components of the algorithm-based examination of the shoulder
• Recognize the diagnosis and identify the prognosis for the patient
• Develop and demonstrate specific rehabilitation strategies using evidence-based practice for selected shoulder conditions
• Discuss the rationale for the progression of rehabilitation techniques
• Create innovative treatments using plyometrics, perturbation techniques, neuromuscular dynamic reactive training techniques, specificity rehabilitation techniques, etc.
• Compare and contrast treatment techniques and outcomes for selected shoulder conditions
