Northeast Seminars

Objectives

Learning Objectives:
Shoulder:
Upon successful completion of this seminar, the practitioner will learn how to:
•Demonstrate an understanding of the anatomy & biomechanics of the shoulder complex • Recognize capsular restrictions of the Glenohumeral joint • Perform specific joint mobilization, stretching for the shoulder joint complexDesign an effective and appropriate evidence based rehabilitation program for various shoulder dysfunctions: - Shoulder instability - Rotator cuff pathologies - Superior Labrum Tears - Motor control deficits - Biceps Pain - Scapular dyskinesis - Adhesive Capsulitis - Acriomoclavicular joint dysfunction - Overhead athlete •Analyze specific exercise techniques and evaluate the exercises effectiveness •Integrate the information presented and formulate a treatment plan for specific case studies which will be presented.

Knee:
Upon successful completion of this seminar, the practitioner will learn how to:
•Understand the anatomy and biomechanics of the knee joint • Develop an understanding of patellofemoral joint pain & dysfunction & develop a treatment program from a evidence based approach • Demonstrate and organize a functional assessment for specific knee disorders • Interpret the information obtained from the clinical examination & functional assessment and develop a treatment plan •Design an effective and appropriate rehabilitation program based on current clinical and scientific research for the following knee pathologies: - Patellofemoral pain & dysfunction - Tendinopathies - Post-operative ACL patient - Knee stiffness & loss of motion - Meniscus lesions - Articular cartilage lesions •Analyze specific exercise techniques, such as weight bearing & non weight bearing exercises and understand joint kinematics and muscular activity & then be able to develop the treatment plan for the appropriate exercises for the specific patient •Integrate the information presented in this course and demonstrate problem-solving skills through the development of treatment plans of specific case studies presented

Confirmation Notes

Instructional Level: Intermediate, with lecture and lab both days

Description

This course is designed to present to the clinician the most recent and state of the art information in the treatment of unusual and challenging patient problems of the shoulder and knee joints. The course was developed to discuss with the clinician challenging patient problems and develop an evidence based treatment approach for these patient lesions' and dysfunctions'. Through lecture presentations, demonstration videos of surgery & rehabilitation techniques, hands-on laboratory sessions, open discussions and problem solving of patient case studies, the attendee will have an opportunity to master new and effective evaluation and treatment techniques.

A word from Kevin Wilk, PT, DPT, FAPTA
This course has been developed to be 50% lecture and 50% hands-on lab. Based on course attendees feedback the course curriculum presented has been updated from previous courses and now includes more lab time. Even if you have gone to one of my courses before - you should still come to this one - It's going to be great! I am very proud to offer this course to you - I think you will learn, laugh & enjoy it. Bring a case study to discuss! Kevin Wilk
