Conference
Objectives:
At the conclusion of this conference participants should be able to:
- Create
new practical strategies for getting lumbar patients beyond their pain
and back to function
- Apply
creative methods to treatment of cervical patients including those with
cervicogenic headaches, dizziness, and derangements.
- Develop
advanced strategies for upper and lower extremity patients to enhance their
recovery including post surgical function, strengthening to reduce derangements,
and use of different force progressions and loading strategies.
- Integrate
the newest methods of pain resolution and movement strategies into the
overall patient management.

| WORKSHOPS: |
| Low
Back Pain to Function: "Getting on with It!" |
| |
Patients
who respond well to mechanical diagnosis and therapy can often be returned
to function quite easily and predictably. For those grops of patients
who fail to respond or only partially respond, how does the clinician
decide that it's OK to return to function? Are these cases confusing
or do they seem complex? Through the use of case studies, this interactive
workshop will focus on how to use McKenzie principles to identify those
non-responders
that just need to "get on with it." |
| |
|
Objectives: |
- Recognize when fear avoidance behaviors are interfering with mechanical
therapy and how to get beyond this towards return to function
- Determine when to stop with mechanical therapy on the partial responders and focus on return to function
- Determine when patients will not respond to MDT but can safely progress
towards return to function
- Understand how to use McKenzie principles to identify those
patients who have been labeled as chronic, but who may respond to mechanical
therapy (unrecognized responders)

| C-Spine: McKenzie's Mechanical Magic |
| |
This
workshop focuses on issues that may arise when treating cervical patients
that potentially may limit the patient's progression from pain to function.
The goal of the workshop is for participants to be able to recognize
and effectively eliminate each barrier to recovery of complete function. |
| |
|
Objectives: |
- Dintinguish common causes of dizziness, in particular:
- Review current information on vertebral artery testing
- Learn the Hallpike Dix maneuver for BPPV assessment and become familiar
with treatment techniques
- Identify other central causes of dizziness
- Treat cervicogenic dizziness
- Effectively assess and treat the more complex mechanical
headaches
- Have the ability to perform advanced clinical reasoning with cervical
patients with upper extremity involvement, including:
- Differentiate shoulder and neck
- Perform upper limb tension testing
- Identify when the cervical/thoracic junction needs to be addressed
- Discuss when to progress to rehabilitation

| Lower Extremities: Discovering Derangements, Progressing
Dysfunctions |
| |
This
workshop will have two components. The first will focus on exploring
the full potential for a rapid return to function of lower extremity
problems. Clinical reasoning and differential diagnostic skills will
be used to uncover these rapidly reversible conditions. The second component
will focus on returning lower extremity contractile dysfunctions back
to full function. Barriers to that recovery will be discussed and options
for overcoming these barriers explored. |
| |
|
Objectives: |
- Appropriately apply MDT to assess the lower extremity
- Assist participants in lower extremity differential diagnosis
- Explore the full potential for identifying rapidly reversible lower
extremity derangements
- Identify and overcome barriers in progressing lower
extremity contractile dysfuntions
- Discuss guidelines for returning lower extremity contractile
dysfuntions to full recovery of function
|
| |
| Upper Extremities: A Call to Arms |
| |
This
workshop will begin with an exploration into what we previously called
the rotator cuff disorder. We'll introduce the principles of evaluating
the
shoulder using mechanical diagnosis and therapy while addressing how
to differentiate shoulder from cervical pathology. Through demonstrations
of patients being evaluated and treated, we will identify the steps of
taking a shoulder through the progression from treatment to recovery
of function. |
| |
|
Objectives: |
- Differentiate cervical from shoulder pathology
- Identify mechanical from non-mechanical conditions
- Correctly identify correct loading strategies to resolve lesion by
identifying:
- Directional preference
- Correct amount of force
- Correct amount of repetitions/frequency for HEP
- Describe appropriate progression of forces for effective self-management
for each classification
