Although injury prevention is a domain for athletic trainers (ATs), implementation science is a burgeoning area and many ATs may not have had specific education on preventive training program (PTP) implementation. This course aims to describe the most recent evidence on the benefits PTPs have on athlete injury risk, injury rate and sport performance. Additionally, ATs may not have the time to run PTPs every single day in their clinical setting. Coaches, particularly at the high school level do not utilize PTPs.  ATs can train coaches to effectively implement PTPs with their athletes, however ATs may not have background on the most effective strategies to train coaches. This course will present a framework that ATs can use to begin the PTP implementation process within their own settings.

The specific objectives for this course include the development of the participant’s ability to:

1. Discuss the current state of evidence for preventive training programs (PTPs)
2. Describe the 7-steps for successful PTP design and development
3. Prepare strategies for PTP implementation in different sport-specific or setting-specific scenarios, including but not limited to, youth sport, girls’ basketball, and the military.

According to the education levels described by the PDC, this continuing education course is considered to be Essential Level, and is appropriate for all athletic trainers.

Lateral ankle sprains (LAS) are the most common injuries associated with physical activity and athletic participation. Up to 70% of individuals who sustain a single LAS will eventually develop chronic ankle instability (CAI), which has been associated with long-term consequences such as decreased health-related quality of life and decreased physical activity. To help mitigate consequences related to CAI, recent studies have investigated different approaches in managing patients who suffer a LAS, including the use of patient-reported outcome measures, clinician-reported outcome measures, and various treatment approaches. Although LAS present a major challenge for health care providers, particularly athletic trainers, little is known about the overall effectiveness of current treatment strategies for LAS. Thus, there is a pressing need to identify effective treatment strategies that will optimize patient outcomes and reduce re-injury risk.

While treatments should be individualized, balance training has been shown to be an effective strategy to improve postural control and reduce recurrent LAS risk, and should be a part of every LAS rehabilitation protocol. ATs should use a combination of patient-reported outcome measures and clinician-rated outcome measures to guide the treatment and management of LAS and to improve patient outcomes, reduce the risk of LAS re-injury, and prevent the onset of CAI.

The specific objectives for this course include the development of the participant’s ability to:

1. Discuss the progression of an acute lateral ankle sprain to chronic ankle instability
2. Describe the evidence regarding the treatment of lateral ankle sprain injuries
3. Identify patient-reported outcome measures and clinician-rated outcome measures appropriate for lateral ankle sprain rehabilitation

According to the education levels described by the PDC, this continuing education course is considered to be Advanced Level, and is appropriate for all athletic trainers.

Overview of the Course:

Patellofemoral pain remains one of the most common conditions seen by physical therapists, yet 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 this disorder through a review of the latest research findings and empirical evidence. Course participants will receive a thorough understanding of patellofemoral joint pain and biomechanics, as well as an overview of lower extremity interdependent relationships. Emphasis will be placed on current research findings in the areas of gait analysis, kinematic MRI, EMG, and patellofemoral joint mechanics. Critical review of long held, but poorly researched, areas of evaluation and treatment will be addressed. Participants will be empowered to critically reflect upon their beliefs regarding their etiology, assessment, and treatment approaches, but will also be provided with “clinical pearls” to take back to the clinic.

Course Objectives:

Upon completion of this course participants will be able to:

1. Describe the anatomy, kinesiology and biomechanics of the patellofemoral joint.
2. Describe the pathomechanics of patellofemoral joint dysfunction.
3. Describe the influence of abnormal lower extremity mechanics on patellofemoral joint dysfunction.
4. Describe the scientific and clinical rationale behind the development of an exercise program for the treatment of patellofemoral pain.
5. Describe the scientific rationale for the use of external bracing/taping, hip strengthening/retraining, as well as foot orthoses in the treatment of patellofemoral pain.

Chemistry of SDF; the WHY: advantages and disadvantages with supportive evidence; the WHEN: clinical uses, indications and contraindications; the HOW: incorporation into restorative practice, clinical protocols, and clinical tips from practicing dentists all over the globe. The session will include wide coverage of multiple clinical questions addressing the challenges associated with SDF.

Learning Objectives:

At the conclusion of this course, participants will be able to:

• Explain the indications, benefits, and risks for Silver Diamine Fluoride (SDF) to patients.
• Describe the evidence and level of success for using SDF to treat or prevent dental caries.
• Demonstrate the techniques for applying SDF and SMART technique.
• Guide patients through deciding on topical-only versus invasive caries management.
• Describe key research questions about SDF that are under current investigation.
• Identify challenges associated with Silver Diamine Fluoride

Partial Root Extraction Therapy (PET): A Tactic to Rescue Buccal Plate

Date:                    Wednesday, December 1, 2021

Time:                    7:00 PM CST, 8 PM EST, 5 PM PST

Location:              Zoom

Audience:            The Dental Professional

Format:                Lecture

CE Credit:             2.0 credits

Tuition:                 $69

Description:

Bone loss around extraction sites is due to the destruction of the periodontal ligament to bone complex. This is problematic in aesthetic areas, specifically the anterior maxilla. Many procedures and materials have been used to regain or cover lost bone structure (such as bone and gingival grafts). These can be costly and time consuming to patients. Research has shown great potential in partial extraction therapies (PET) where part of the natural tooth root is purposely left attached to the buccal plate of bone to prevent its loss. These therapies are more conservative than normal extractions and require no additional materials. This presentation aims at shedding more light on this technique as well its contraindications and limitations.

Learning Outcomes:

At the conclusion of this course, participants will be able to:

• Review the hard and soft-tissue effects of tooth loss.
• Review the different treatment options for tooth loss and the advantages/ disadvantages of each.
• Review some of the new techniques recommended to mitigate the effects of hard and soft-tissue loss, especially in the aesthetic zone.
• Provide a clear understanding and definition of “Partial Root Extraction Therapy – PET”.
• Review some of the cases treated utilizing PET techniques.
• Review the different contraindications and limitations for using PET.

Treating Anterior Discolorations: Microabrasions, Resin Infiltration, and Bleaching

Date:                      Thursday, December 9, 2021

Time:                      7:00 PM CST, 8 PM EST, 5 PM PST

Location:               Zoom

Audience:              The Dental Professional

Format:                 Lecture

CE Credit:              2.0 credits

Tuition:                  $69

Course Description:

Not every patient who has discolorations on their front teeth needs to have veneers. Minimally invasive treatments, such as microabrasion, resin infiltration or just bleaching may allow patients to achieve an esthetically pleasing esthetic outcome without the tooth removal and maintenance required with veneers. And many patients have small discolorations for which they desire esthetic improvement but do not wish to undergo veneers. Treating these lesions can be relatively easy with these minimally invasive treatments. Therefore, the aim of this course is to help the clinician determine which treatment is suited for different types of lesions, make the clinician familiar with the different products available, and show the clinician the tips and pitfalls of each procedure.

Learning Objectives:

At the conclusion of this course, participants will be able to:

• Teach the diagnosis of different types of tooth discolorations
• Describe the products available
• Present a step-by-step method for each treatment
