ACL Rehabilitation: A Review of Current Treatment Approaches [4 contact hours]
As technology, surgical techniques, and graft options continue to evolve with regards to ACL reconstruction, sports medicine professionals must stay abreast of changes within the literature to assure proper rehabilitation of athletes. The instructor provides a review of the current literature as it pertains to current controversies in anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction rehabilitation. Some of the topics to be covered throughout this course include the need for surgical reconstruction, graft choice options, functional bracing, rehabilitation techniques, and return to play decision making. Participants will review the possible benefits of inclusion of a neuromuscular injury prevention program while taking a closer look at appropriate rehabilitation exercises to integrate during different stages of post-operative recovery. Individuals will be able to distinguish between different types of functional tests, which will allow sports medicine professionals to develop a more comprehensive return to play plan. Participants will be able to compare the recommended guidelines presented within the lecture to the participant’s current clinical practice while assessing the need for change within a specific patient population. 8 Blood Flow Restriction Training: Understanding the Safety, Mechanisms, and Efficacy, 2nd Edition [4 contact hours] Blood flow restriction training (BFRT) is an exercise technique that is transforming how we prescribe exercises therapy. By partially restricting blood flow to the muscles using specialized cuffs or bands, BFRT offers a range of benefits from muscle activation to advanced rehab training. Discover the benefits of blood flow restriction training with this course. From increasing muscle activation and muscle growth to enhancing strength and endurance. BFRT can even help reduce pain. BFRT is a science-based approach—over 800 articles published in the last 10 years—that can be safely prescribed to diverse populations from young to old, from patients to athletes. 16 Evidence-Based Balance Rehabilitation and Fall Prevention [6 contact hours] This course is intended for physical therapy, occupational therapy and athletic training practitioners who address balance impairments and work to reduce falls in their patients and communities. This course defines balance and its components, describes how the various balance issues fall into these component categories and categorizes these impairments accordingly. It will outline how to assess balance and interpret the many varied assessment tools available. Taking this information, clinicians will see how to systematically approach balance rehabilitation, including how to prioritize needs, account for patient background and resources, and work towards long term falls reduction. Finally, this course discusses current guidelines for community level fall prevention strategies and how therapists can be more involved with this process. 25 Introduction to Golf Rehabilitation and Performance: 90 Percent Mental, 90 Percent Physical [3 contact hours] This course provides a comprehensive review of current approaches to ACL (anterior cruciate ligament) rehabilitation. It covers the latest evidence on surgical reconstruction techniques, graft choices, functional bracing, neuromuscular training, and return-to-play decision making. The course emphasizes the importance of evidence-based practice and staying current with the evolving literature in ACL rehabilitation. Participants will learn about early rehabilitation protocols, specific exercises and techniques, functional testing methods, and how to incorporate psychological readiness into return-to-sport decisions. The course includes case studies and self-assessment questions to reinforce key concepts. 33 Move Better, Feel Better: A Movement-Based Approach to Soft Tissue Mobilization for the Lower Body [5 contact hours] This course provides learners with an evidence-based approach to combining instrument-assisted soft tissue mobilization (IASTM), cupping, and kinesiology taping on the lower extremities. By focusing on how this technique can stimulate the central nervous system (CNS), clinicians can help reduce pain, enhance mobility, and improve occupational performance.
