Recognize capsular restrictions of the Glenohumeral joint.
Perform specific joint mobilization, stretching for the shoulder joint complex.
Design an effective and appropriate evidence based rehabilitation program for various shoulder dysfunctions:

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.
Day 2: 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 evidencebased 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 evidence based medicine for the following knee pathologies:
- ACL surgery - ACL MAD procedure, ALL procedures of the knee - Patellofemoral pain & post-operative rehabilitation - Tendinopathies - Post-operative articular cartilage procedures - Knee stiffness & loss of motion - Meniscus lesions - Specific techniques to improve healing & promote muscle hypertrophy
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.
