Michael T. Gross – The Complex Shoulder Evaluation & Intervention for Common Conditions

Description:

If you are looking for SOLUTIONS to the evaluation and treatment of complex shoulder pathologies, this is the seminar for you.

Join expert Michael T. Gross, PT, PhD, FAPTA, for an information-packed day focused on giving you the tools you need to overcome the sometimes difficult task of intervening for shoulder injuries. Learn new strategies to assess and plan treatment effectively for:

• Rotator Cuff Tear Restoration & Management
• Shoulder Impingement Syndrome
• Anterior Glenohumeral Instability
• SLAP Lesions
• Adhesive Capsulitis
• Thoracic Outlet Compression Syndrome
• Shoulder Arthroplasties

Learn more than just the etiology of these common shoulder complex pathologies. Learn how to interpret clinical tests and recognize the patient’s problem quickly. Rapid recognition is imperative not only in developing the appropriate course of action for the patient, but also ensuring the patient has the best chance for a successful rehabilitation. Acquire take-home tips and techniques that will change your clinical practice the very next day!

OUTLINE

Rotator Cuff Tears

Review of Special Tests and Mobilizations – Lab

OBJECTIVES

1. Explain the etiology of common shoulder complex pathologies and identify possible anatomic and functional movement etiologic factors
2. Identify which special tests should be used to identify specific shoulder complex pathologies and be able to apply these tests proficiently
3. Determine which patients are appropriate candidates for conservative intervention or should be referred for assessment as surgical candidates
4. Utilize effective glenohumeral and scapula-thoracic mobilization techniques specific to shoulder complex pathologies
5. Devise appropriate treatment plans and enable effective patient intervention based on clinical findings
