ANN COOLS LEVEL 2

SHOULDER REHABILITATION: WHAT´S NEW FROM A SCIENTIFIC AND CLINICAL POINT OF VIEW, LEVEL 2

GENERAL COURSE GOALS AND CONTENT 

In the area of shoulder rehabilitation, scientific knowledge and insights in the clinical application of research data have been evolving the past few years in an enormous extent. The purpose of this advanced shoulder rehabilitation course is to provide additional theoretical insights,clinical reasoning processes and practical skills in the rehabilitation of the shoulder,bringing an update aswell as an extension of the existing knowledge, covered in the level 1 course. In particular the aims are twofold: first goal is to discuss and practice into detail the role of the scapula in shoulder painassessment and rehabilitation. Additionally, some specific pathologies are discussed,that were not thoroughly covered in the level 1 course. 

Program Level II 

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

15-15.30h: break
