ANN COOLS
Shoulder rehabilitation: what`s new from a scientific and clinical point of view, level 1
GENERAL COURSE GOALS AND CONTENT
The goal of this 2-day shoulder course is to update knowledge and practical skills with respect to shoulder rehabilitation, debating the most common shoulder disorders like rotator cuff disease, traumatic and atraumatic instability, shoulder stiffness, the involvement of the scapula, sport specific shoulder pain etc. The theoretical background is updated, based on recent literature and immediately applied into the practice. New insights as well as points of debate are presented and discussed in an interactive manner. We perform clinical examination based on evidence based practice principles, including scientific evidence and clinical expertise. Several approaches of clinical examination are critically discussed. During the rehabilitation part of this course, general clinical reasoning principles, as well as specific therapeutic indications are discussed and put in to practice during interactive workshops, in which all demonstrated and discussed exercises and additional modalities are performed and experienced. This 2-day course consists of theoretical background sessions (30%), critical interactive discussions (20%) and practical sessions (50%). The target public is physiotherapists with a special interest in shoulder rehabilitation. Novice as well as experienced physiotherapists have the opportunity to update their knowledge and skills. General insights in shoulder anatomy, biomechanics, including mechanical injury mechanisms, are assumed to be acquired.

COURSE PROGRAM AND TIME-TABLE LEVEL 1
DAY 1:
9.00-10.30h: THEORY PART 1:
From impingement symptoms towards the underlying pathology and impairments: critical discussion with respect to “impingement”, update scientific literature and critical papers. Discussion regarding rotator cuff dysfunction, tendinopathy, degenerative RC tears, and muscular imbalance. Shoulder instability: differential diagnosis and approach for the 3 most common types of instability: traumatic dislocation, overload functional instability in the overhead athlete, atraumatic multidirectional instability based on generalized hyperlaxity. Biceps related pathology: disorders of the long head of the biceps and SLAP lesions as biceps related labral pathology.
10.30-11h: Break
11-12.30h: THEORY PART 2
Glenohumeral ROM deficits in the overhead athlete and its relation to overuse shoulder pain. the role of the scapula in shoulder pain, biomechanical and clinical perspectives. The theoretical session ends with a critical interactive discussion on the possible causes of shoulder pain, including central sensitization, kinetic chain disorders and psychosocial factors.
12.30-13.30h: break
13.30-15h: CLINICAL EXAMINATION PART 1
Clinical reasoning in the assessment of the patient, using science-based clinical reasoning algorithms. Symptom provocation and reduction tests, traditional orthopedic tests, including critical discussion with respect to the interpretation. Case-based interpretation of clinical examination during interactive practical session.
15-15.30: break
15.30-17h: CLINICAL EXAMINATION PART 2
Continued. At the end of this session, participants are able to share their personal experience and expertise in a peer-learning moment.
DAY 2:
8.00-09.30: REHABILITATION PART 1: ROTATOR CUFF
Scientific background for the conservative treatment of rotator cuff tendinopathy and muscular imbalances, scientific rationale for exercise choice, practical session.
09.30-10h: break
10-11.30: REHABILITATION PART 2: SHOULDER INSTABILITY
Specific exercises for shoulder instability, exercises for local neuromuscular control, closed chain exercises in progression (algorithm + practice), differential approach based on instability-type, scientific rationale for kinetic chain exercises, sportspecific approach including throwing exercises, exercises for swimmers, practical session.
11.30-12.30h: break
12.30-14h: REHABILITATION PART 3: MOBILISATION TECHNIQUES
Angular stretching and non-angular joint mobilization techniques, home stretching program, mobilization with movement techniques for the shoulder with posterior shoulder stiffness. Principles of mobilization techniques applied to frozen shoulder contracture. Practical session.
14.14.30h: break
14.30-16h: REHABILITATION PART 4: SCAPULAR REHABILITATION
Clinical reasoning algorithm for scapular rehab, specific exercise selection for muscular imbalance and progression, scientific rationale for exercise selection, soft tissue techniques for pectoralis minor treatment
