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.
Target Audience
Physical Therapists, Physical Therapy Assistants, Athletic Trainers, Occupational Therapists, M.D.’s
Confirmation Notes
This course is 50% hands-on so come dressed to learn. You will need lab clothing: tank top or halter-top to expose the shoulder, and shorts to expose the knee. Bring a mat (or blanket), a pillow and a large towel for lab table. Also bring a sense of humor, and your brain for some thoughts!

Description
This course addresses one of the most critical opportunities that you face as a clinician.
According to information from the National Center for Health Statistics, each year more than 12 million visits are made to physician offices for knee problems and more than 7.5 millionfor shoulder problems of which 4.1 million were for rotator cuff problems. In 2015, approximately $5 billion was spent on 250,000 ACL injuries alone.
This Shoulder and Knee course is designed to present the most recent and relevant, state of the art information for the treatment of the most unusual and challenging problems of the shoulder and knee joint, things you must know to offer complete, comprehensive treatment options for you patients.
The course provides an evidence based approach to treatment discussing the latest research and more than 600 actual case studies delivered through lecture, demonstration videos, hands-on laboratory sessions, and open discussions.
Attendees will have the opportunity to master new and effective evaluation and treatment techniques and implement them immediately into your practice as you learn from the best.
