Returning Full Force:
Advanced Sports Rehabilitation for the Lower Body
November 7th 2009 - November 8th, 2009
NEW LOWER FEE
|
This two-day course features comprehensive instruction in the bio-mechanical and neural control principles that permit us to run, jump, and cut; and how these principles can be best used to maximize the outcome in rehabilitation for sports and exercise.
Included in the course are hands-on lab activities which will demonstrate neural control principles, the effect of surface on sports activities, the use of plyometrics in sports training and rehabilitation, and examples of rehabilitation activities and sport specific programs which a sports rehabilitation professional could apply.
The material for this course is intended to apply to patients preparing to return to full activity after lower body injury and/ or surgery, rather than very acute stages of rehabilitation.
Course Objectives:
- Describe bio mechanical variables characteristic of running and jumping in different scenarios, as well as variables characteristic of direction changes.
- Describe the relative contribution of ligament, bone and muscle to providing sufficient joint stiffness to enable the lower body activities required for sports and exercise.
- Name the types and mechanisms of lower body injuries frequently associated with various sports and recreational activities.
- Given a particular anatomical impairment, design a rehabilitation progression appropriate to protect the injured region and return the athlete to pre-morbid function.
- Implement a battery of progressive functional tests designed to assess athletic capabilities.
- Design an advanced and progressive rehabilitation regimen specific to a particular role in a sport or recreational activity.
