Course Description:
The great majority of therapists' patients have strength or ROM deficits. Increasing pressures from third party payers have led to a national trend of decreased number of visits, visit financial ceilings, and increased co-pays. One must also consider staff shortages as well. As a result, therapists must become more efficient at what they are doing in order to achieve goals in less time. This course focuses on stretching, strength training, and other factors used to optimize therapeutic exercise effects. Instruction on functional anatomy with common exercises for strength/motor control of the upper and lower body is provided. Strength training is defined and differentiation between strength training principles is explored. Participants will gain knowledge of consequences of improper technique and considerations for the arthritic, diabetic, adolescent, and older adult populations' exercise. This course also discusses topics such as knee anatomy and physiology, optimal proprioception, and strength exercises to prevent knee injuries as well as includes demonstration of static and dynamic stretching.
