Knee Online Bundle

You will receive access to five online courses, equalling 12.5 Contact Hours.

Diagnosis and Management of the Knee –  8 Contact Hours – Take an in-depth look at primary and secondary pathoanatomy, biomechanics, basic and specific clinical examination and interpretation, management suggestions and specific approaches to diagnose and treat knee related disorders.

Cadence and Periodization guidelines for the treatment of common running injuries – 1 Contact Hour – This course will discuss relevant questions regarding training history linked to common running injuries. Treatment strategies reviewed will include periodization principles and cadence training. Periodization teaches adaptations of running parameters such as frequency, speed, and distance to lessen injury risk.

Lower Quadrant Neural Testing and Management – 1.3 Contact Hours – Dr. Brismee discusses the neural testing and management for the lower quadrant using research-based guidelines for neural tensioning and sliding techniques. He also shares his expertise on how to apply the evidence into the clinical practice to treat patients with spinal potential discogenic, dural or nerve root related conditions, patients with suspected peripheral neural compression/tension conditions and patients with suspected sensitization in chronic stages.

Transform your practice with blood flow restriction training – 1.5 Contact Hours – This course will focus on how BFR works and how you can effectively utilize BFR training in your daily clinical practice with patients of all ages. The webinar will include a BFR training demonstration utilizing the Delphi PTS blood flow restriction device and will focus on how BFR training can safely be used to aid in rehabilitation and recovery.

Ischemia Reperfusion Injury – 0.7 Contact Hours – This course brings to light the latest information on the musculoskeletal and systemic effects of tourniquet release in orthopedic surgeries. While most understand the effects of ischemia of a limb during ischemia, few practitioners are aware of the even more detrimental local and global effects when the limb is reperfused. Understanding particularly the latter, will bring a better understanding of post-surgical patient conditions and lead to greater success in patient outcomes.

Diagnosis and Management of the Knee

• Given a case study of one of the most common musculoskeletal pathologies of the knee joint complex with consequent clinical dysfunctions, the learner will independently integrate the anatomic, physiologic and biomechanical findings into a differential diagnosis report.
• Accurately identify at least one common clinical dysfunction of the knee region in 3 different patient scenarios.
• Identify 3 effective treatment interventions for acute, recurrent and chronic knee region dysfunctions and related pathologies.
• Design a treatment plan for a patient with acute dysfunction of the knee.
• Design a treatment plan for a patient with recurrent or chronic knee dysfunctions.

Cadence and Periodization guidelines for the treatment of common running injuries

• Name at least 3 potential causes of over training
• Name the most common training errors associated with overuse running injuries
• Indicate how to prevent common running injuries through training modifications
• Indicate how to manage common running injuries through training modifications

Lower Quadrant Neural Testing and Management

• Identify 3 lower quadrant neural testing techniques to improve diagnostic process
• Design 3 different treatment approaches, based on neural mobilization principles, for peripheral nerve entrapment dysfunctions

Transform your practice with blood flow restriction training

• Explain the scientific theory behind BFR training and learn how to safely implement it into your clinical practice
• Recognize ways in which you can effectively implement BFR in your clinical practice with patients rehabilitating from injury or surgery.
• Learn how BFR compliments manual therapy treatments to take your clinical results to the next level

Ischemia Reperfusion Injury

• Identify the main clinical and functional characteristics of Ischemia Reperfusion Injury (IRI)
• Recognize the different phases of IRI
• Compare local versus systemic effects of IRI
• Integrate potential clinical approaches to treat functional effects of IRI
