The
purpose of this conference is to present, discuss and analyze
the current evidence regarding musculoskeletal management of the spine
and extremities. The conference theme focuses on the current
state of research in Mechanical Diagnosis and Therapy™ and
where it stands among other approaches in influencing clinical practice.
Conference
presenters will relate how the evidence can help the clinician
strive for clinical excellence. Through a variety of learning
experiences, to include didactic, interactive groups and hands-on
techniques,
the conference will present the continuum of the patient assessment
process and the progression from conservative care to indications
for surgery. Instructional level: Intermediate to advanced.
At
the conclusion of this conference, participants will be able to:
1.
|
Differentiate
and diagnose reducible versus irreducible derangements, as well as, understand
treatment options available for these classifications. |
2.
|
Classify
and differentiate pain/symptoms arising from the spine versus extremities.
|
3.
|
Analyze
the neurophysiological and mechanical effects of therapist genereated
forces. |
4.
|
Integrate
latest research into clinical practice for treatment of cervical and
lumbar spine, SI joint and peripheral joints. |
5.
|
Understand
and confirm the role of MDT with non-responders in guiding them in
the continuum of care from medical and interventional radiology to
pre-surgical screening. |
6.
|
Strengthen
the decision making process for determining appropriate surgical candidates. |
7.
|
Understand
why a standardized data and outcome documentation process during everyday
clinical practice plays a key role in determining treatment effectiveness. |
8.
|
Demonstrate
how a variety of research designs can support evidence-based clinical
practice. |
9.
|
Identify
the current and new reimbursement models utilized by payers in the
health care marketplace and how MDT clinicians can benefit. |
