Evaluation and Treatment of Low Back Injuries in Football Players
WebcastOVERVIEW
Evaluation and Treatment of Low Back Injuries in Football Players is organized by HomeCEU and will be held during Dec 21, 2017 - Dec 31, 2019.
The target audience for this medical event is Physical Therapist, Physical Therapist Assistant, and Certified Athletic Trainer. This CME Conference has been approved for a maximum of 1 Contact Hours.
Course Description:
Currently there are many approaches to managing low back pain in athletes. Some are modality based some are exercise based. Many articles suggest there is as at least some correlation between hamstring length, limited hip range of motion, gluteal weakness, lumbar instability, and lumbopelvic movement, as it relates to low back pain. Other articles suggest treatments based on spinal stabiliation exercises, dynamic lumbar strength exercises, Swiss ball exercises, and core stabiliation exercises are effective treatments in reducing low back pain. However, there are no current studies that correlate pelvic position and low back pain, to hip and lower extremity muscular tightness, to abdominal and gluteal weakness. The purpose of this course is to help professionals understand the correlation between low back pain and poor movement patterns casued by limited hip motion, poor pelvic position and weakness in the abdominal and lumbopelvic region. Furthermore, this course will help professionals understand the appropriate evaluation tools and proper course of treatment.
Course Goal:
This course is intended to instruct the professional on appropriate evaluation tools and proper course of treatment for low back injuries.
Conference Objectives are :
• Describe the steps in properly evaluating an athlete with low back pain
• Identify the relationship between abnormal movement patterns and low back pain
• Describe the correct techniques to restore normal pelvic position
• Recognize the correct techniques to restore normal strength in the lumbopelvic region
Additional details will be posted as soon as they are available.
