Evidence Based Management of Patellofemoral Pain

Evidence Based Management of Patellofemoral Pain is organized by A.T. Still University (ATSU) and will be held on Jun 01, 2024 at Arizona School Of Health Sciences, Mesa, Arizona, United States of America.

Description:
Patellofemoral pain remains one of the most common conditions seen by physical therapists, yet evaluation and treatment programs remain highly variable and are often without scientific backing. The purpose of this course is to critically assess current approaches to the management of this disorder through a review of the latest research findings and empirical evidence. Course participants will receive a thorough understanding of patellofemoral joint pain and biomechanics, as well as an overview of lower extremity interdependent relationships. Emphasis will be placed on current research findings in the areas of gait analysis, kinematic MRI, EMG, and patellofemoral joint mechanics. Critical review of long held, but poorly researched, areas of evaluation and treatment will be addressed. Participants will be empowered to critically reflect upon their beliefs regarding their etiology, assessment, and treatment approaches, but will also be provided with “clinical pearls” to take back to the clinic. 

Additional details will be posted as soon as information is available.
