Advanced Clinical Skills for Orthopedic and Sports Related Knee InjuriesCourse OutlineThis two-day, advanced level course will focus on an algorithm-based method of evaluation and treatment of common orthopedic and sports related conditions. Dr. Manske’s educational and clinical teaching experiences create an optimal learning environment conducive to both lecture and “hands-on” learning. This course is designed to provide lecture supported by extensive laboratory exercises. The laboratory sessions are designed to assist the participant with developing the manual skills and dexterity needed to effectively palpate structures around the knee, master effective evaluation techniques and develop appropriate rehabilitation programs. Emphasis during the evaluation process of the laboratory sessions will be placed on mastering the clinical examination. The knee algorithm method will be thoroughly discussed and practiced to enhance the clinician’s ability to perform effective evaluations in a timely manner. This course will include extensive discussion on the scientific, evidenced-based and clinical rationale for rehabilitation strategies and progressions for Medial Collateral Ligament (MCL) injuries; Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) injuries and ACL replacements; meniscal injuries and treatment methods for both meniscectomy and meniscus repair guidelines; and articular cartilage injuries. Conservative and surgical treatment are discussed in the lecture and laboratory exercises. Categorization of patellofemoral disorders, evaluation techniques and selective recruitment of the VMO are also addressed. The information provided in this course can be applied immediately in the clinical setting. Participants will be provided the tools necessary to improve examination skills and to develop appropriate treatment interventions for their patients.
