Level 3

PROGRAM AND CONTENT

DAY 1:

9.00-10.30h: ROTATOR CUFF TENDINOPATHY:

Basic clinical examination, impingement-algorithm, reactive versus degenerative tendinopathy and more.

 11-12.30h: BICEPS RELATED PATHOLOGY

Specific tests for biceps pathology and SLAP lesions, exercise prescription with progressive load on the biceps, scientific rationale for exercise choice, practical session with low to high biceps load exercises, demonstration. 

13.30-15h: ROTATOR CUFF TEAR

Scientific background for conservative treatment, progressive exercise program for the older patient with a RC tear, scientific rationale for exercise choice, mobilization techniques

 

15.30-17h: ANTERIOR INSTABILITY IN THE OVERHEAD ATHLETE

Objective measurements and clinical examination tests for the overhead athlete’s shoulder, internal impingement, suprascapular nerve pathology, GIRD, stretching of the posterior shoulder, mobilization with movement (Mulligan), progressive exercises for the throwing shoulder, eccentric training of the external rotators, plyometric exercises, implementation of the kinetic chain in sportspecific exercises, scientific rationale for exercise selection, taping of the glenohumeral joint

DAY 2:

8.00-09.30: MULTIDIRECTIONAL INSTABILITY

Specific tests for shoulder instability, demonstration of patients (video material), Ehler Danlos Syndrome, exercises for local neuromuscular control, closed chain exercises in progression (algorithm + practice), adaptation of open chain exercises for the MDI patient, taping of the glenohumeral joint and scapula,

 

10-11.30: SCAPULAR DYSFUNCTION IN THE OVERHEAD ATHLETE – TYPE I

Specific clinical examination tests and objective measurements for scapular dysfunction, malposition and strength deficits, clinical reasoning algorithm for scapular rehabilitation, stretching pectoralis minor, progressive exercises for type I dyskinesis and more.

12.30-14h: SCAPULAR WINGING – TYPE II

  DAVID W. EVANS

Advanced Spinal Manipulation
With Dr David W. Evans

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.

PROGRAM AND CONTENT:  

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.

The lecture material covers the following:
– what ‘manipulation’ is (and what it is not)
– biomechanics of spinal manipulation
– evidence of effectiveness/mechanisms of action of spinal manipulation as a treatment for spinal pain
– safety and potential risks of spinal manipulation
– effective targeting spinal manipulation
– cranial nerves and their testing (in case this has not been covered elsewhere)
PROGRAM:
Both days from 9.30-17.00.
