These seminars are designed for physicians, nurses, physical therapists, athletic trainers and others who work with athletes. Content will consist of anatomy, mechanisms of injury, diagnostics and assessments, non-surgical and surgical interventions, rehabilitation treatment progression, injury prevention and return to play considerations. Topics will include upper extremity with a focus on shoulder and elbow as well as lower extremity with a focus on hip, knee and ankle.

April 18, 2018 – Upper Extremity: Shoulder & Elbow

Arm pain and injuries in sports are common and frequently seen in throwing sports like racquet sports, volleyball, swimming, and many others. Both sudden, traumatic occurrence and repetitive use can occur. 

The presenters will cover common sports injuries, surgical and non-surgical interventions followed by treatment considerations including rehab progression, education, prevention of injury and return to play criteria.

October 24, 2018 – Lower Extremity Injuries: Hip, Knee & Ankle

According to research from the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons, twenty-five percent of athletic injuries are foot and ankle-related and hip disorders are increasingly recognized as a cause of dysfunction and disability among athletes.

Normal foot, ankle and hip function are fundamental to successful sporting participation. Not only are they important in running, jumping and kicking-based activities, they also contribute to the generation and transference of forces in upper limb-dominated activities.

The presenters will cover common sports injuries, surgical and non-surgical interventions followed by treatment considerations including rehab progression, education, prevention of injury and return to play criteria.

After attending this live activity, participants should be able to:

• Identify the anatomy, mechanisms of injury, and common surgical and non-surgical interventions of sports injuries.
• Describe the principals of tissue healing time and biomechanics in relation to program progression.
• Discuss factors influencing return to play for specific sports after injury.
