DAY 1: EXAMINATION AND REHABILITATION OF SCAPULAR DYSKINESIS 

9-10.30h: ADVANCED BIOMECHANICS OF THE SCAPULA: 
Coupled movements, the role of the SC joint, function of the “postural” muscles versus the “dynamic movers and stabilizers”, update literature of scapular dyskinesis in relation to shoulder pathology 

10.30-11h: Break 

11-12.30h: ADVANCED CLINICAL EXAMINATION 
Observation of scapular dysfunction, objective measurements of scapular inclination and strength, normative data for scapular flexibility and strength variables, decision making based on the “symptom improvement test-model”,  and on the different types of scapular dyskinesis 

12.30-13.30h: break 

13.30-15h: ADVANCED SCAPULAR REHABILITATION 

Treatment skills based on the 3 types of scapular dyskinesis, taping techniques to correct scapular position, taping for hypertone upper trapezius, infraspinatus, stretching and soft tissue techniques for pect minor 

15-15.30h: break 

15.30-17h: continued 

DAY 2: CAPITA SELECTA: ADVANCED INSIGHTS AND PRACTICAL SKILLS IN SELECTED SHOULDER PATHOLOGIES (1/2 day sportspecific, 1/2 day non-sportspecific)

8.00-9.30h: SLAP LESIONS AND BICEPS RELATED PATHOLOGY 

Science based rehabilitation protocol and guidelines for postoperative rehabilitation (exercise progression, excentric training, plyometric drills) 

9.30-10.h: break 

10-11.30: HIGH PERFORMANCE TRAINING IN THE OVERHEAD ATHLETE AND RETURN-TO-SPORT DECISIONS 
specific high level exercises for gymnasts, collision sports, high impact sports, and science based return to play criteria, including objective measurements of glenohumeral ROM and strength 

11.30-12.30h: break 

12.30-14h: MULTIDIRECTIONAL INSTABILITY 

Progressive conservative treatment of the patient with atraumatic  (unvoluntary and voluntary) multidirectional instability – closed and open chain exercise approach, taping techniques

Dr David Evans biografi:

Dr David Evans has 25+ years of clinical practice and 20+ years of academic research and teaching, specialising in musculoskeletal pain, disability and back pain in particular. World leading expertise in spinal manipulation research and teaching, particularly regarding underlying mechanisms. Research interests include the elucidation of mechanisms, measurement of pain and disability, questionnaire development, QST, remote digital kinematic measurement, movement-evoked pain, post-trauma pain, determinants of disability (including avoidance via conditioning and fear). Becoming increasingly interested in fatigue and PTSD.

Kursusbeskrivelse: 

This course is very focused on spinal manipulation, with a balance between very detailed research-based lectures and practical (cervical, thoracic and lumbar spine techniques and their adaptations). The material is suitable for beginners but also goes beyond M-level.
