Now more than ever, people are more active and are participating in athletic and recreational activities ranging from running to extreme sports resulting in a number of orthopedic injuries. Expectations in the rehabilitation of these injuries are to utilize an evidence-based approach to develop appropriate exercise programs. Therefore, it is imperative that the orthopedic rehab professional have a strong understanding of all aspects of evidence-based research on exercise and sports science to create the link from injury to recovery to full return to sport.This innovative course combines basic concepts of physics, biomechanics, and physiology with movement analysis to help participants develop sport specific training programs. Participants will learn how to systematically break down fundamental athletic movements using current research, in depth discussions, and video analysis. Evidence-based protocols for upper and lower extremity return to sport will be introduced as well as the concept of periodization. Participants will return to their practice with multiple tools to maximize recovery from injury for every patient from the weekend warrior to the professional athlete.HighlightsDevelop sound clinical reasoning strategies utilizing a combination of exercise physiology, biomechanics, and evidence based research to develop more comprehensive strength and endurance exercises for rehabilitationBecome a movement expert! Enhance your clinical skills to systematically break down com...
