The theme of this year’s course is Clinical Implications for Scapular Dyskinesis. We will review the literature and ongoing research that gives us insight to treating the clinical conditions that involve altered scapular mechanics. The following general areas will be addressed: the scapula and specific shoulder/elbow injuries (labral, rotator cuff, impingement, MDI/instability, clavicle/AC joint, scapular muscle detachment, elbow); the scapula and specific sports (baseball, tennis, swimming, contact sports); the clinical exam; rehabilitation protocols for scapular dyskinesis; and outcomes research.
This
symposium is designed for physicians, physical therapists, occupational
therapists, certified athletic trainers and other healthcare
professionals interested in the evaluation and management of the
shoulder. This course will present current theories and techniques in
the evaluation and rehabilitation of the kinetic chain, scapula, and
shoulder – specifically, the role of the scapula and scapular dyskinesis
in shoulder injury. The course will achieve its objectives by utilizing
standard lectures, didactic sessions, panel discussions, video case
presentations, as well as hands-on rehabilitation workshops.
These formats are designed to provide interaction between the
participants and the presenters. The lectures and workshops will cover
topics specific to musculoskeletal issues commonly seen in the clinical
setting and by the end of the course, participants should have a better
understanding of the kinetic chain theory of evaluation and rehabilitation
which will allow them to incorporate this philosophy into their daily
therapeutic practice.
Participants will have interactions with speakers
during discussion segments and panel discussions. There will also be a
series of evaluation workshops where participants will practice and
demonstrate skills for various lab instructors.
