- ACL Rehabilitation: A Review of Current Treatment Approaches 4
Course release date: 7/8/2024
About the Course
As technology, surgical techniques, and graft options continue to evolve with regards to ACL reconstruction, sports medicine professionals must stay abreast of changes within the literature to assure proper rehabilitation of athletes. The instructor provides a review of the current literature as it pertains to current controversies in anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction rehabilitation. Some of the topics to be covered throughout this course include the need for surgical reconstruction, graft choice options, functional bracing, rehabilitation techniques, and return to play decision making. Participants will review the possible benefits of inclusion of a neuromuscular injury prevention program while taking a closer look at appropriate rehabilitation exercises to integrate during different stages of post-operative recovery. Individuals will be able to distinguish between different types of functional tests, which will allow sports medicine professionals to develop a more comprehensive return to play plan. Participants will be able to compare the recommended guidelines presented within the lecture to the participant’s current clinical practice while assessing the need for change within a specific patient population.
- Blood Flow Restriction Training: Understanding the Safety, Mechanisms, and Efficacy, 2nd Edition 4
Course release date: 10/7/2024
Course Overview
Blood flow restriction training (BFRT) is an exercise technique that is transforming how we prescribe exercises therapy. By partially restricting blood flow to the muscles using specialized cuffs or bands, BFRT offers a range of benefits from muscle activation to advanced rehab training. Discover the benefits of blood flow restriction training with this course. From increasing muscle activation and muscle growth to enhancing strength and endurance. BFRT can even help reduce pain. BFRT is a science-based approach—over 800 articles published in the last 10 years—that can be safely prescribed to diverse populations from young to old, from patients to athletes. - Management of Sports-Related Concussions: Staying Ahead of the Game, 2nd Edition 4
Course release date: 10/7/2024
Course Overview
Concussions continue to be a serious epidemic in youth and competitive sports. With approximately 1.6 million to 3.8 million sports-related concussions occurring every year, these injuries are considered among the most complex injuries in sports medicine to diagnosis, assess, and manage. The instructor will provide an overarching review of the recent literature, including the 6th International Conference on Concussion in Sport, as it pertains to concussion management from prevention techniques to reducing the risk of injury to returning to play after a concussive episode. The modules within this course include an introduction to concussions, recognition and sideline evaluation, clinical evaluation, neuropsychological testing, rehabilitation techniques, and academic modifications. As the literature and practice guidelines/recommendations are reviewed, participants will be able to assess their current practice to make appropriate modifications to their own concussion management plan. The mission of this course is to provide a concise resource on how to properly manage concussions from risk reduction techniques, acute injuries, and return to play by implementing a multimodal process and enhancing multidisciplinary communication to keep the athlete at the forefront of care. - Optimizing Outcomes in Rehabilitation: Motor Learning Principles and Beyond 6
Participants will, by the end of this course, gain a knowledge and understanding of how to optimize rehabilitation outcomes in their patients by using current and evidence-based application of motor learning concepts and principles of neuroplasticity.
- Therapy Diagnosis & Management of Common Running Injuries 4
Course release date: 7/8/2024
About the Course
Evaluating and treating running injuries can pose a challenge for therapists. Running is a highly repetitive activity, and even minor biomechanical differences and musculoskeletal imbalances can be relevant.
