This intensive two day course
consists of lecture, analysis
of case studies, clinical
reasoning, problem solving and
heavy emphasis on assessment and treatment of
patients, a trademark of McKenzie
courses.
The goal of this course
is to provide introductory
knowledge and basic skills
and abilities to begin to:
- appropriately apply the McKenzie Method
of Mechanical Diagnosis
and Therapy to patients with extremity problems;
- distinguish between the McKenzie Syndromes (Postural, Dysfunction,
and Derangement) as applied to the extremities, and provide
appropriate treatment regimens for each of the syndromes and
their sub-classifications;
- identify when the application of external forces or
external stabilization
is required for the resolution of symptoms using
McKenzie's "progression of forces" concept;
- assist patients to design and apply the therapeutic
processes on their
own to maintain treatment
goals; and
- distinguish non-mechanical disorders and provide appropriate
advice.
Course Outline includes:
- The McKenzie Method: Review of Basic Principles and Epidemiology
- Anatomy/Biomechanics and Physiology of Upper and Lower Extremities
- Pathophysiology
- Contraindications and Precautions
- Assessment of the Extremity Patient
- Treatment Procedures
- Treatment of the Three Syndromes
- Reassessment and Outcome Predictors
- The Prophylactic Concept
- Practical Sessions
