Course Description:
Musculoskeletal (MSK) disorders are the number one expense for health insurance
companies today, and they are on the rise. Clinically recognizable movement-oriented risk
factors have been identified in recent research. Clinicians must understand the contributing
factors to suboptimal outcomes and be able to identify MSK risk factors in their patients. In this
course, the importance of creating a standardized operating procedure for identifying risk factors
is outlined, and learners will recognize that currently there is a lack of standardized clinical
movement assessments for individuals in pain. Evidence-based movement screening and testing
is discussed, and the Selective Functional Movement Assessment (SFMA) is introduced. This
includes the basic classifications of movement patterns, the Top Tier Tests, and scoring criteria
for each test. The course will define and apply the concepts of movement diagnosis to help
clinicians determine whether a patient has a mobility problem or a motor control problem.
