Orthopaedic Physical Therapy Secrets- Module 6: The Shoulder

Course overview

This course is derived from the textbook by Jeffrey Placzek, MD, PT and David Boyce, PT, EdD, OCS. This textbook is part of the popular Secrets series. It presents physical therapy concepts and then introduces different healing modalities, specialties and orthopedic procedures typically prescribed for common injuries such as shoulders and extremities. Common diseases are included as well as more innovative diagnostic tools for physical therapists such as radiology. The text features concise information that includes tips, and memory “secrets”. Bulleted lists, algorithms and illustrations provide a quick review of the specific topics discussed. The information is interesting, entirely evidence-based, outcome based and up-to-date. Module 6: The Shoulder- covers chapters 37 through 45. Chapter 37: Functional Anatomy of the Shoulder Chapter 38: Shoulder Impingement and Rotator Cuff Tears Chapter 39: Shoulder Instability Chapter 40: Adhesive Capsulitis Chapter 41: Total Shoulder Arthroplasty Chapter 42: Acromioclavicular and Sternoclavicular Injuries Chapter 43: Scapulothoracic Pathology Chapter 44: Fractures of the Proximal Humerus and Humeral Shaft Chapter 45: Nerve Entrapments of the Shoulder Region Methods of Instruction: Online course available via internet Target Audience: Physical Therapists, Physical Therapist Assistants, Occupational Therapists, Occupational Therapist Assistants and Athletic Trainers Educational Level: Intermediate Prerequisites: None Course Goals and Objectives: At the completion of this course, participants should be able to: 1.Recognize normal scapulohumeral rhythm 2.Recognize a rotator interval 3.Differentiate between a Bankart lesion, a HAGL lesions and a Hill-Sachs lesion 4.List and differentiate between the three morphologic types of the acromion 5.Recognize Neer’s classification of rotator cuff pathology 6.Recognize the Mumford procedure 7.Identify the passive stabilizing mechanism and the primary static stabilizers for the glenohumeral joint 8.Identify the grading scheme used to assess increased glenohumeral translation 9.Identify how the outcome of immediate shoulder stabilization compares to the nonoperative management of shoulder instability in the healthy, young adult 10.List and differentiate between the types of SLAP lesions, describe the special tests used in evaluation 11.Define primary and secondary adhesive capsulitis 12.Differentiate between unconstrained, constrained and reverse total shoulder arthroplasty 13.List the possible postoperative complications associated with TSA 14.Recognize the Neer-phased rehabilitation program 15.Identify the classification and treatment of acromioclavicular and sternoclavicular injuries, including the operative and nonoperative approaches 16.Recognize the 3-D kinematics of the scapular with respect to the humerus and trunk in arm elevation 17.List the muscles that attach to the scapular, the peripheral nerves innervating each muscle, and the corresponding root levels 18.List indications for operative treatment of clavicle fractures Criteria for Obtaining Continuing Education Credits: A score of 70% or greater on the post-test
