Examination of the Evidence Behind Rehabilitation Myths in Orthopedic Rehab of the Lower Body
Paul Frizelle, PT, DPT, MS, OCS, MTC, CSCS, PES, CES
Includes all course content in digital format
Prerequisites Required
Description
The fields of rehabilitation have been primarily driven to use tools that have been taught or espoused by "clinical experts." In the past two decades more resources have been placed towards research in clinically applicable rehabilitation information. Our view has evolved to begin implementing more evidence-based approaches for treating patients. Unfortunately, it often takes long periods for research to become available to the wider audiences. This has left the rehabilitation fields permeated by outdated information and inefficient/ ineffective treatments provided to patients. This course will examine some of the more prevalent myths that still pervade our fields and determine if the current evidence supports these practices. Participants will leave this course with a better understanding of the current research and how to effectively impact functional progress with their patients using evidence-based treatments.
Highlights
- Best available evidence-based research to effectively treat orthopedic rehabilitation patients
- Review common myths in rehabilitation that are inaccurate or outdated
- Easy methods to access and stay up-to-date on the latest available literature and research
Learning Objectives
- Review the most important anatomical aspects of SI joint and knee stability.
- Interpret the evidence for the implementation of core exercise in the management of low back pain.
- Utilize appropriate resistance training levels in geriatric patients to improve range of motion and functional strength.
