Frank Layman – Non-Operative Shoulder Rehabilitation: Current Approaches in the Evaluation and Treatment of the Painful Shoulder

Frank Layman – Non-Operative Shoulder Rehabilitation: Current Approaches in the Evaluation and Treatment of the Painful Shoulder

Specific diagnosis within the realm of shoulder pain can be problematic. It is unrealistic for a single test to make a pathognomonic diagnosis, but there are clinical tests with varying levels of sensitivity and specificity that, when clustered together, can aid the clinician in determining proper pathology. The clinician must decide between various manual techniques, exercises, modalities and adjunctive treatment techniques.

In this exciting, interactive, recording you will practice multiple specialized tests and determine how to cluster them to improve accuracy of diagnosis. You will have the opportunity to practice various mobilization and stabilization techniques to address limitations in range of motion and pain. With hands-on labs and case studiesparticipants will be educated on current concepts in adjunctive treatment techniques, including ergonomic adaptations, which can be immediately incorporated into practice.

1. Analyze specialized tests to identify the pathomechanics of shoulder pain with hands on lab
2. Demonstrate scapula assessment to aid in diagnosis of shoulder pain and identify muscular imbalance
3. Review common shoulder diagnosis, current concepts in treatment techniques and case study presentations
4. Apply current concepts in manual techniques for the treatment of the painful shoulder
5. Analyze therapeutic exercises and home exercise plans to treat the painful shoulder
6. View adjunctive treatment techniques and modalities for patients with non-operative shoulder conditions
