E1 - Lower Extremity Evaluation & Manipulation - Instructed by Mike Turner, PT, DPT, OCS, MTC, FAAOMPT is organized by University of St. Augustine for Health Sciences (USAHS) and will be held from Feb 09 - 10, 2019 at Austin, Texas, United States of America. Hours: 15 or 1.5 CEUs  Prerequisite: Intro E1 Webinar (4 hours; .4 CEUs) & Pre-course FCO - Homestudy (included with E1) Who Attends: Physical Therapists Description: This seminar emphasizes the interpretation of basic science knowledge and the development of basic clinical skills which are needed to complete a differential evaluation of lower extremity dysfunction, then proceeds to treatment. General principles of functional anatomy, tissue and joint biomechanics, pathology, and treatment are presented. The clinical content of the seminar includes physical examination, with special emphasis on performance of joint mobility and assessment of end-feel. Non-thrust manipulations are instructed. Supportive treatments are discussed. Learning Objectives: At the completion of this seminar the attendee should be able to: • Perform the steps of the differential evaluation for the detection of lower extremity dysfunction • Interpret the results of the differential evaluation • Identify a treatment approach based on the positive findings of the differential evaluation • Select (when appropriate) basic non-thrust manipulation techniques • Relate the significance of pain to the patient’s dysfunction, behavior and treatment approach • Discuss and contrast the effects of mobility and immobility • Discuss the effects of manipulation in terms of psychological, mechanical and neurophysiological effects • Discuss the indications and contraindications for joint manipulation of the lower extremity

CF2 - Intermediate Cranio Facial - Instructed by Mark Strickland, PT, OCS, MTC, Cert MDT, CFC, CCTT, CODN is organized by University of St. Augustine for Health Sciences (USAHS) and will be held from Feb 23 - 24, 2019 at Austin, Texas, United States of America. Hours: 15 Hours, 1.5 CEUs Prerequisite: Basic Cranio Facial (available online) Who Attends: Physical Therapists Description : This seminar will primarily be focused on displacement of the intra-articular disc of the TMJ, but will also cover the role of the subcranial spine in the causation of craniofacial pain and the association between detrimental oral habits (parafunction) and craniofacial pain. Medial and lateral disc subluxations will be carefully examined, as will disc-condyle and disc-eminence subluxations. The progression of disc subluxation and other intra-articular pathology will be demonstrated by the use of clinical examples and all disorders will be illustrated by imaging. The imaging methods used in the diagnosis and management of the TMJ will be explained; this includes transcranial radiographs and tomography, as well as MRI, used for diagnosis and clinical management of intra-articular disc displacements. The lab sessions will focus on assessment of intra-articular pathology, as well as preparations of the TMJ and subcranial spine for reduction of the intra-articular disc.  Finally, participants will have the chance to practice disc reduction and subsequent stabilization of the disc in the reduced position. Learning Objectives: At the completion of this seminar the attendee should be able  to: • Explain the concept of the progression of intracapsular temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disc pathology as an initial stage of dysfunction. • Discuss how a medial or lateral disc can progress to an anterior disc subluxation. • Predict the effect of oral bad habits in children and adults. • Describe the process of craniomandibular parafunction (teeth grinding) as a cause of micro repetitive trauma. • Explain the loaded gliding of the TMJ with systemic joint laxity as a cause of progressive joint disc pathology and degenerative joint disease. • Apply examination and treatment techniques to soft and hard tissues of the maxillofacial region with special emphasis on proper force and direction to avoid injury. • Explain the major cause of condylar height loss and consequential facial asymmetry. • Identify the signs and symptoms of vascular irritation for the TMJ. • Apply manual and muscular techniques for disc subluxations. • Discuss the use of removable interocclusal appliances for joint stabilization.
