To gain understanding of the practical application of a simple assessment & management framework for the ‘rotator cuff’
To recognize limitations in current knowledge and avenues for further research
To explore current thinking in relation to pain and the ‘rotator cuff’
To develop understanding of other treatment approaches, including surgery and corticosteroid injections, in non-responding patients
To further develop skills of reflective practice.

Course Description: This course will focus on examination and intervention for individuals with vertigo and disequilibrium from vestibular causes using essential evidence-based tests and measures. The course will highlight management of several vestibular pathologies including a review of anatomy and discussion of examination and interventions for each vestibular disorder. Specific emphasis of the course will be on the management of benign paroxysmal positional vertigo, unilateral peripheral hypofunction, bilateral vestibular hypofunction, and other common vestibular disorders.  Case study presentations and hands-on lab components will facilitate the learners’ experience. This course is intended for individuals with a general knowledge of vestibular anatomy and physiology and common vestibular disorders.

Course Objectives:

At completion of this course, the participant will be able to:

• Discuss the differences between normal and abnormal vestibular pathology and how it correlates to a clinical examination and interventions.
• Demonstrate tests and measures that are appropriate for vestibular pathology (peripheral vestibular hypofunction, benign paroxysmal positional vertigo and bilateral vestibular hypofunction) and apply results to create a comprehensive vestibular rehabilitation program.
• Refine skills needed to create a patient-specific evidence-based rehabilitation program to help persons with vestibular pathology optimize their recovery.

CEU: Participants are awarded 0.75 CEUs or 7.5 contact hours at the end of the course.

Course Description: 

The knee is the most common site of lower extremity injury in persons who are physically active. Despite the high number of knee injuries seen in orthopedic practice, evaluation and treatment programs remain highly variable and are often without scientific backing. The purpose of this course is to critically assess current approaches to the management of common knee disorders through review of research findings and practical clinical experience. Course participants will receive a thorough review of the clinical biomechanics of the tibiofemoral and patellofemoral joint, as well as an overview of the entire lower kinetic chain as it relates to knee dysfunction. Emphasis will be placed on current research in the areas of injury biomechanics, treatment approaches and injury prevention strategies. Implications for return to sport decisions following knee injury/surgery will be addressed

Course Objectives:

At the conclusion of the course the participant will be able to:

• Describe the influence of abnormal lower extremity mechanics on knee injury.
• Describe the influence of abnormal lower extremity mechanics on patellofemoral joint dysfunction.
• Describe a functional assessment of the lower quarter for persons who have undergone ACL reconstruction.
• Describe the scientific and clinical rationale behind the development of an exercise program for the treatment of common tibiofemoral joint injuries and patellofemoral pain.
• Describe the scientific and clinical rationale behind the development of exercise programs to prevent ACL injury.

Contact hours: Participants are awarded 8 contact hours at the end of the course.
