Terry Rzepkowski – Post-op Rehab Workshop, Evaluation & Treatment Strategies for Shoulder, Hip, & Knee

The post-op rehab implications of these various surgeries will be discussed in hands-on functional rehab labs, where you’ll practice cutting-edge interventions that can be applied in the clinic.

Terry Rzepkowski – Post-op Rehab Workshop, Evaluation & Treatment Strategies for Shoulder, Hip, & Knee

Learn to identify common orthopedic problems of the shoulder, hip, and knee and understand the various surgical techniques for repair.  Review the latest surgical techniques, including video analysis of surgical procedures that demonstrate changes before and after intraoperative repair. The post-op rehab implications of these various surgeries will be discussed in hands-on functional rehab labs, where you’ll practice cutting-edge interventions that can be applied in the clinic.

This comprehensive training workshop includes evaluation and intervention strategies for:

• Shoulder RTC tears
• Total shoulder replacement
• Glenoid labrum tear
• Acetabular labral defect
• Hip fracture
• Total hip replacement
• Meniscal injury
• Osteochondral defect
• ACL tear
• Total knee replacement

1. Perform hands-on clinical assessments to identify structural pathology of shoulder, hip, and knee conditions
2. Perform assessment techniques to identify predisposing factors to the injury of shoulder, hip, and knee
3. Develop a personalized risk-specific treatment approach to minimize functional injury predispositions
4. Review the anatomy and biomechanics of the shoulder, hip, and knee
5. Discuss prognosis, treatment duration, and outcome for each type of orthopedic surgical procedure
6. Perform hands-on functional rehab techniques for the shoulder, hip, and knee
7. Design functional home exercise programs in appropriate staged progression
