Donatelli's Pathophysiology and Mechanics of the Shoulder with Lab

Donatelli's Pathophysiology and Mechanics of the Shoulder with Lab is organized by Texas Children's Hospital and will be held from Aug 25 - 26, 2018 at Texas Children's Hospital - Feigin Center, Houston, Texas, United States of America. This CME Conference has been approved for a maximum of 16 Contact hours or 1.6 CEUs.

Course Description:
Robert Donatelli’s new edition of the shoulder course is developed from the most current research and clinical findings, and has been recognized nationally as a proven, effective and tested approach for shoulder rehabilitation. The use of special tests and a review of essential systems to distinguish musculoskeletal dysfunction from medical pathology will be covered. This course will teach therapists those skills necessary in making a thorough evaluation of the shoulder and Upper Q, and then designing a rehabilitation program based upon the examination findings.

Course Objectives:
Upon completion of this course the participant will be able to:
• Describe at least 2 features of normal mechanics of the shoulder that are important in the evaluation and/or treatment of a person with shoulder dysfunction.
• Describe at least 3 components of a systems check for a person with an upper quadrant dysfunction.
• Describe at least 2 interrelationships of soft tissue structures between the shoulder and the upper quarter.
• Identify at least 3 special tests for the evaluation of shoulder pathology.
• Demonstrate at least 2 mobilization techniques for a given shoulder pathology.
• Develop at least 4 exercises to constitute a rehabilitation program for the stiff and painful shoulder.
• Identify at least 3 pathologies of the upper quarter.
• Identify at least 2 surgical procedures for repair of the shoulder traumatic injuries.
