Franklin, TN (Vocus) March 13, 2010
This two-day intermediate level physical therapy continuing education course and hands-on laboratory course will supply the clinician with the most recent evidence-based practice guidelines for the examination, differential diagnosis, and treatment interventions for running-related injuries. New study on how to accurately diagnose and treat plantar heel discomfort, Achilles tendinosis, Achilles tendonitis, patellofemoral syndrome, iliotibial band syndrome, anxiety fractures, and muscular strains will be reviewed. An emphasis on the utilization of video gait analysis as a key diagnostic and treatment tool will be incorporated throughout the course. Hands-on laboratory break-out sessions will focus on performing a functional biomechanical examination distinct to runners, fabricating orthotic devices, and performing and interpreting selected special tests for the hip, knee, and ankle with an emphasis on their application to runners. Case studies will be utilized throughout the course to illustrate key concepts. This interactive course will permit course participants to improve their diagnostic, examination, and treatment abilities of injured runners. The overall course objective is to offer course participants with a thorough understanding of running biomechanics and the most recent evidence-based practice guidelines in order to effectively and efficiently enhance the quality of patient outcomes. A comprehensive course packet will consist of photos, references, and clinical pearls for fast reference in the clinic.
Physical Therapy Continuing Education Objectives
Recognize the relationship between lower extremity anatomy and physiology and running biomechanics..
Independently and accurately perform a functional runner-certain lower extremity evaluation.
Realize regular running mechanics and apply this understanding to successfully treating injured runners.
Identify and apply the latest evidence-based approaches to evaluating and treating the following widespread running injuries: plantar heel pain, Achilles tendonopathy, medial tibial stress syndrome, tension fractures, chronic exertional compartment syndrome, patellofemoral syndrome, iliotibial band syndrome and lateral hip pain.
Independently assess a running two-dimensional video gait analysis with emphasis on breaking down a runner’s form from the anterior, lateral and posterior views.
Correlate biomechanical examination findings with a two-dimensional video gait analysis in order to apply evidence-based running-certain exercises to treat the runner’s biomechanical impairments.
Discuss pertinent pharmacologic problems including generally employed medications and nutritional supplements, side effects, and potential interactions of physical therapy treatments with medications.
