Author Dr. Lorie Schleck
Dr. Lorie Schleck has taught numerous continuing education courses on orthopedic topics. Her DPT is from the Evidence in Motion Health Institute, which focuses on evidence-based research and manual therapy competencies. She is an APTA Clinical Specialist in Geriatrics. Her teaching style is engaging, practical, and evidence focused.
LEARNING OUTCOMES • Analyze the biomechanical principles of joint
• Integrate manual therapy with therapeutic exercise interventions to optimize outcomes for patients with common orthopedic conditions • Implement joint-specific rehabilitation strategies for knee, ankle, hip, and shoulder pathologies based on current research evidence • Differentiate appropriate manual therapy techniques and therapeutic exercises for specific orthopedic conditions in laboratory practice sessions • Analyze the neurophysiological, biomechanical, and interpersonal mechanisms underlying the effectiveness of manual therapy interventions
arthrokinematics and their application to manual therapy techniques for the knee, ankle, hip, and shoulder joints • Differentiate between open and closed kinetic chain movements and their implications for therapeutic exercise selection and manual therapy approaches • Apply evidence-based manual therapy techniques, including mobilization grades, mobilization with movement, and soft tissue techniques, for common orthopedic conditions • Arrange progressive therapeutic exercise programs that incorporate appropriate loading principles for conditions such as osteoarthritis, tendinopathies, and post-surgical rehabilitation
