Movement Dysfunctions of the Shoulder Complex:

From Impingement to the Evolution of Rotator Cuff Dysfunction

Saturday, October 29, 2016

Registration 7:30 am. Program time: 8:00am-5:00pm

Course Description:

The development of pain and dysfunction within the shoudler region is a common finding in today's society and has a limiting impact on the functionality of numerous individuals.  Most commonly, shoulder pain and dysfunction  develop due to imbalances in movement patterns that predispose tissues to less than optimal function and potential damage.

This course is designed to provide the physical therapist and occupational therapist with and understanding  of the biomechanical and kinesiopathic influences that predispose and are provocative towards pain and dysfunction within the shoulder region.

Objectives: Upon completion of this course, participants will be able to

  • Describe the structure, function, and mechanical complexity of the shoulder region
  • Describe how imbalances in the arthrokinematics of the glehohumeral and scapulothoracic joints lead to movement dysfunctions within the shoulder region
  • Incorporate accurate examination tests that identify mechanical faults and tissue provocation related to movement dysfunctions within the shoulder region.
  • Synthesize examination findings into sound clinical rationales for the development of a movement-based PT diagnosis and intervention plan.
  •  Describe the current level of evidence and clinical rationales for the utility of interventions involving movement dysfunctions of the shoulder region.
  •  Incorporate selected manual therapy techniques and neuromuscular re-education principles in the intervention for shoulder dysfunctions.
  •  Appreciate and assimilate biopsychosocial influences in interventional planning
