Total Joint Arthroplasty and Fracture Rehabilitation

Education Resources, Inc.

Objectives

Objectives:
Describe current surgical approaches and components for hip, knee, and shoulder reconstruction
Explain the biomechanical aspects of selected prosthetic joint components (including the use of cement vs. press-fit vs. bio-ingrowth) and their relation to physical therapy treatment
Interpret “yellow and red flag” findings to either support or abort physical therapy services
Apply evaluation methods and intervention strategies to optimize functional outcomes
Create ‘task-specific’, ‘ADL-related’, and functional “home-based” interventions that can be modified and manipulated to each patient’s unique living environment

Description

Learn implications of the latest surgical approaches when designing treatment strategies and dosing for patients post joint arthroplasty or fracture repair. Surgical updates have led to outpatient total joint replacements, post-op day 0 hospital-based evaluations, little to virtually no post-operative precautions and a shorter rehab course. This course will review the impact of these surgeries on rehab treatment including principles of fundamental biomechanics and its importance when designing, programming and dosing post-op and non-op exercise programs.
