DAVIES, DPT, MED, PT, SCS, ATC, LAT, CSCS, PES, FAPTA COURSE DESCRIPTION This course provides the participants with advances in examination, evaluation, diagnosis, prognosis, treatment strategies and outcomes research for patients with selected knee conditions. Various principles of practice of the master clinician, such as clustering of signs and symptoms and using an algorithm-based process will be discussed and practiced. The clinical hands-on demonstration will emphasize an algorithmbased clinical examination for efficient time management in the clinic. The scientific and clinical rationale (evidence-based practice) for rehabilitation strategies and progressions will be discussed. Participants can expect to learn innovative and creative treatment interventions with various knee conditions. Case studies will be presented to facilitate effective treatment planning. Suggested treatment protocols and outcome measures will be emphasized throughout the course. CD videos of examination and treatment techniques will be presented and discussed throughout the course. This is an interactive course that will provide didactic activities to encourage participants to integrate this information into the development of customized programs to enhance the quality care of their patients. UPON COMPLETION OF THE SEMINAR THE PARTICIPANT WILL BE ABLE TO: Describe the process and components of an algorithm-based examination of the knee Evaluate the clusters of signs and symptoms that facilitates selecting appropriate components of the algorithm-based examination of the knee Develop specific rehabilitation strategies for selected knee conditions Discuss the rationale for the progression of rehabilitation techniques Create innovative treatments using plyometrics, perturbation neuromuscular reactive training techniques, etc. Compare and contrast treatment techniques and outcomes for selected knee conditions
