Orthopedic
Management of the Lumbopelvic Region
COURSE
DESCRIPTION
This two-day seminar is designed
in an attempt to bridge the gap between scientific
research and clinical practice.
The concepts and principles presented will
emphasize current physical therapy approaches to the
evaluation and treatment of pathologies in the
lumbopelvic region.
Teaching methods will include lecture (50%) and
demonstration/lab practice (50%).
The focus of the seminar is on immediate clinical
application of evidence-based practice in a limited access environment.
COURSE
OBJECTIVES
Following completion of the
program the participant will be able to:
-
explain
the clinical anatomy and biomechanics of the
lumbopelvic region.
-
explain
the effect of aging on the lumbopelvic region and
the differences between degenerative and degradative
disc disease.
-
explain
the pathophysiology of disc herniation,
central/lateral stenosis, radiculopathy,
spondylolysis, spondylolisthesis, and instability.
-
recognize
the difference between global and local muscle
systems and their role in stability of the
lumbopelvic region.
-
explain
and identify pathomechanics of the sacroiliac
region.
-
perform
an efficient and comprehensive examination of the
lumbopelvic region that allows placement of patient
into an appropriate treatment category.
-
explain
the role of active spinal movements for pain
modulation.
-
explain
the role of traction in treating lumbar spine
dysfunction.
-
explain
the rationale and perform mobilization for the
sacroiliac and lumbar spine.
-
design
and implement effective exercise and stabilization
programs for the lumbopelvic region.
