PATHOLOGY AND INTERVENTION IN MUSCULOSKELETAL REHABILITATION - MODULE 2: ELBOW AND SHOULDER

Course overview

This course utilizes content from the textbook ¿Pathology and Intervention in Musculoskeletal Rehabilitation¿ by David J. Magee, PhD, PT, James E. Zachazewski, PT, DPT, SCS, ATC and William S. Quillen PT, PhD, SCS, FACSM ¿ 2009, published by Elsevier. Instructional Level: Beginner to Intermediate Pathology and Intervention in Musculoskeletal Rehabilitation provides clear guidance on patient management relative to specific musculoskeletal pathology, injury, and illness ¿ all based on a sound understanding of basic science and principles of practice. Throughout the text, detailed evidence-based descriptions of current and practical rehabilitation methods as well as the tools needed to design and implement a rehabilitation program for musculoskeletal pathology. Presented is the rationale for choosing an intervention along with challenges presented by the pathology, stage of healing, cautions and contraindications to treatment, different treatment considerations based on best evidence and clinical reasoning considerations. Surgical pathology is discussed when appropriate, along with the interventions providing the best evidence for clinical decision making.

Professional Learning Objectives 1. List the principals of shoulder treatment. 2. Demonstrate knowledge in the stabilization of the scapula 3. Identify complications associated with dislocation of the shoulder girdle. 4. Define the condition frozen shoulder. 5. Define floating shoulder. 6. Differentiate between primary tendonitis and secondary tendonitis. 7. Differentiate between an anterior sternoclavacular dislocation and a posterior dislocation. 8. Recognize the phases of frozen shoulder. 9. List the four muscles that constitute the rotator cuff. 10.Recognize that it is imperative for clinicians to consider the shoulder girdle as a whole rather than only one circulation, when assessing instability and impingement. 11.Differentiate between primary anterior impingement, secondary anterior impingement, posterior internal impingement and anterior impingement syndrome. 12.Define ¿empty glenoid¿. 13.Recognize the indicators of fatigue and loss of control during treatment. 14.Recognize that training and rehabilitation need to be specific to the sport or activity in which the athlete hopes to take part.
