Post Op Knee Rehab for the Active Individual
by Mitch Hauschildt, ATC
Includes all course content in digital format
Description
The human body is an incredible machine of working parts. Over time, we have learned a tremendous amount regarding the various systems and chains throughout the body. Dysfunction at any point in the system will cause pain and injury in unpredictable ways. In this innovative, post op knee course, we will not only focus on the operative site itself, but demonstrate how correcting dysfunctions in seemingly distant body parts will have an immediate and lasting effect on joint ROM, stability, strength and overall function. A series of systematic goals and guidelines will be presented to appropriately progress the patient through the complete rehab process from the initial treatment to full return to activity. The goals presented are both time and task dependent to ensure safe and appropriate exercise prescription. Following this course, you will have a new set of clinical tools and exercise progressions for training the human machine.
Learning Objectives
- Understand the concept of regional interdependence and how it affects the knee joint.
- Discern when range of motion is affected by poor stability, rather than mobility
- Develop a Movement based approach to rehabilitation.
- Describe progression of functional rehabilitation.
- Identify the role of metabolic training in the rehab setting.
- Prescribe safe and effective Advanced Exercise Progressions based on the individual patient.
