What to expect:

This 11 hour continuing education course presents a comprehensive methodology for the recommended trials of conservative therapy covered in current literature. This course will give special attention to identification of differential diagnosis of specific tissues of the pelvic girdle and hip joint for identification of intra-articular damage or premature joint degeneration, thereby bridging the gap in current hip arthroscopy rehabilitation literature, which effectively excludes treating the pelvic floor for hip labral tears, hip arthroscopy rehab, and hip impingement. 

Topics Addressed:
  • Secondary and differential diagnoses of the hip and pelvis in order to help the clinician understand how to cover both pelvic health and sports medicine in hip arthroscopy rehabilitation. 
  • Hip labrum injury in the following clinical categories: injury prevention and wellness, clinical evaluation and diagnosis, treatment and rehabilitation, including integrative and lifestyle medicine, and organizational and professional health and well-being.

  • Current surgical methods in order to provide the clinician with a well-rounded background in the management of labral injuries and related secondary lesions.


Therapists in increasing numbers are working with patients who have hip labral injuries prior to and following hip arthroscopic and open surgeries. Utilizing a case study framework, this course will provide you with the opportunity to analyze the evaluation and intervention of the most current methods.

What will you learn?

OBJECTIVES:
At the completion of this course, participants will be able to:
  • Demonstrate methods for differential diagnosis of hip injury.
  • Describe the classification system of labral tears.
  • Demonstrate the latest provocative tests use in differential diagnosis of hip joint injury.
  • Discuss current evidence-based medical and rehabiliation management for labral tears and related injuries of the hip in order to identify critical factors for intervention.
  • Analyze the biopsychosocial model of assessment for prescribing intervention using a case study format.
  • Identify Integrative, Lifestyle, and Functional Medicine interventions for hip and related pelvic pain management.
  • Recognize high-risk populations, common musculoskeletal presentation of patients with hip dysfunction, and how to instruct in optimal recruitment patterns for prevention of long-range debility.
