THE ATHLETES SHOULDER - MODULE 1: BASIC SCIENCE, EXAMINATION AND ARTHROSCOPY

Course overview

This course utilizes content from the textbook ¿The Athlete¿s Shoulder¿ Second Edition by Kevin E. Wilk, P.T., D.P.T., Michael M. Reinold, P.T., D.P.T., A.T.C, C.S.C.S. and James R. Andrews, M.D. ¿ 2009, published by Elsevier. Instructional Level: Beginner to Intermediate This course offers a multi-disciplinary, in-depth look at athletic injuries of the shoulder. Focusing on aspects including but not limited to rotator cuff injuries, labral injuries, instability, examination, diagnostic imaging, arthroscopy, total joint replacement; addressing sport specific topics in baseball, football, tennis, swimming and gymnastic injuries. Throughout the second edition, information has been updated to reflect the current surgical and rehabilitation information for all aspects of shoulder pathology, including illustrated exercises for rehabilitation that demonstrate which exercises to show patients in order to decrease their chance of injury or increase strength following an injury. You can expect detailed information ranging from basic science of the shoulder complex, the areas of examination and assessment as well as the recognition and treatment of various pathologies, including the appropriate surgical and rehabilitation approaches for these pathologies. To better meet your professional needs, this fully illustrated text of 847 pages has been carefully broken down by sections into 6 modules. Each module approved for 10 contact hours of post-graduate continuing education (NOTE: board approvals vary state to state, please check your states approval status in the state specific course catalog by returning to our home page and entering both your state and profession). Each 10 contact hour module can be purchased individually or combined with one or all of the other modules from this course to create a Course Bundle. Each course is offered in two easy formats to again meet your professional needs. You can choose to have immediate access to your course by selecting the online format (PDF download) or a hard copy of the material can be rushed to your home by selecting our mail format. Module Description Included in Module 1: Basic Science, Examination and Arthroscopy Chapter 1: Functional Anatomy of the Shoulder Complex Chapter 2: Clinical Biomechanics of the Shoulder Complex Chapter 3: Standardized Shoulder Examination ¿ Clinical and Functional Approaches Chapter 4: Clinical Examination of the Shoulder Chapter 5: Diagnostic Imaging of the Shoulder Complex Chapter 6: Normal Arthroscopy of the Shoulder Chapter 7: Operative Arthroscopy of the Shoulder Chapter 8: Arthroscopic Techniques of the Shoulder Module Goals Course Goals: This course is intended to instruct the professional through a self-paced study on the Basic Science, Examination and Arthroscopy of The Athlete¿s Shoulder. Professional Learning Objectives 1. Discuss the functional anatomy of the shoulder complex. 2. Differentiate between the sternoclavicular joint, acromioclavicular joint and the glenohumeral joint. 3. Demonstrate knowledge in the ligamentous structure of the acromioclavicular joint. 4. List the factors contributing to glenohumeral stability. 5. Explain the integrity of the capsule and the role it plays in stability of the joint. 6. Demonstrate knowledge in the ligamentous structure of the acromioclavicular joint. 7. Identify the musculature structure of the rotator cuff. 8. Discuss the biomechanics of the shoulder complex. 9. Differentiate between the osteokinematics and arthrokinematics of the scapulothoracic joint. 10. Discuss stability of the glenohumeral joint; differentiating between the articular surfaces and the glenoid labrum. 11. Define concavity-compression.
