Franklin, TN, January 09, 2010 --(PR.com)-- North American Seminars Course Outline

North American Seminars, Inc. presents this two-day advanced physical therapy continuing education course which provides an in-depth analysis of the scientific and clinical rationale for examination and treatment of selected shoulder complex conditions. Over one-third of this course involves hands-on lab sessions utilizing case studies, clinical reasoning and problem solving skills. A special focus will be on the algorithm-based examination format for the special tests of the shoulder. Updated evidence-based information on sensitivity/specificity and likelihood ratios of the tests will be thoroughly addressed. In addition, selected mobilization techniques, rhythmic stabilization, perturbation techniques, and open and closed chain exercises will be practiced in the laboratory sessions. Discussion of evidence-based rehabilitation will include the optimum exercises for rehabilitation of the shoulder complex, shoulder taping, proprioceptive/kinesthetic training techniques and the scientific basis for plyometrics. Emphasis will be placed on evidence-based practice incorporating the examination, evaluation, diagnosis, prognosis, treatment intervention strategies, and clinical outcome studies for patients with selected shoulder conditions.

North American Seminars, Inc. physical therapy continuing education course objectives:

• Integrate an understanding of the basic concepts and principles of evidence-based practice into one’s own clinical practice patterns.
• Understand and utilize the resources available to research the current best practices.
• Demonstrate an understanding of algorithm-based examination and evaluation of the shoulder complex.
• Identify the key factors affecting clinical efficiency and accuracy when using an algorithm- based examination process.
• Interpret and evaluate the examination findings using clinical reasoning skills to develop successful therapeutic intervention programs.
• Describe the difference between adhesive capsulitis and shoulder selective hypomobility
• Develop an integrated evidence-based (when available) and empirically-based rehabilitation program for specific dysfunctions of the shoulder.
• Classify the selected disorders of the shoulder discussed in the course.
