Getting Athletes Back in the Game with Upper Limb Functional Tests Webinar

Course overview

In the fast-paced world of sport it is important to take a pause and think about how we can measure change over time in terms of rehabilitation and performance. There is a noticeable gap in the literature and clinical practice on upper limb outcome measures to help guide the return to play of our athletes. As clinicians we tend to solely rely on subjective measures functional abilities and clinical scans. This could mean that we miss important information from local joints and tissues that are not captured during the evaluation of range of motion or strength. For instance does your management differ for athletes who complain of moderate functional pain but have good range of motion and / or strength compared to athletes who have moderate pain and poor range of motion and / or strength? Does this indicate a difference in pathology prognosis and management? In this recorded webinar Ian Gatt explores these themes and highlights the importance of using outcome measures with athletes as you guide them through their return to play. The aim of this webinar is to improve your understanding and application of upper limb outcome measures to help athletes safely return to play.
