#7126 Specific Functional Skills and Gait Training for Hip Pain

#7126 Specific Functional Skills and Gait Training for Hip Pain is organized by MotivationsCEU.

Description:
Choosing interventions to alleviate pain and impairment without using interventions to address deviant movements can result in returning to previous functional activities using the same less than optimal movement patterns. This course presents specific movement/functional skill training for hip pain which can be more effective in the short term and long term than therapeutic exercise alone – faster results, more durable. This course can facilitate prioritization of choice of interventions to meet clinician’s time constraints and productivity demands to achieve effective and efficient outcomes. Shares verbal queueing, prompting, and feedback principles to alter movement deviations. The goal of the intervention is to replace long-standing pain-provoking movements and alignments with pain-free versions. Course instruction methods include lecture, demonstration, videos, case studies and question/answers. (Intermediate Level)

Objectives:
Upon completion of this course, the participant will be able to:

• Identify postures and positions that occur during daily activities when gluteal tendons are in a relatively lengthened position, and alternative positions to mitigate the load on the tendons.
• Demonstrate progression from therapeutic exercises to integration with specific/functional skill gait training for individuals with hip pain.
• Given an individual with hip pain describes strategies and tactics of adding load, decreasing load, and modifying movement patterns to optimize movement capacity.
• State verbal cues, prompts, and feedback to use during specific/functional skills training associated with hip pain which has an internal focus of attention, an external focus of attention, which uses terminology that is visual, auditory, or kinesthetic/tactile.
• Demonstrate utilization of the “whole, part, whole method of motor learning” and “contrast exploratory learning” designed to alter movement deviations associated with hip pain.
• Given a complaint of hip pain and the person self-reported specific functional limitations observe the painful movements analyze and judge whether the observed movements are deviant or less than optimal.
