NEW ADVANCES IN HIP REHABILITATION
Advances in MRI and arthroscopy have enabled a much better understanding of hip pathologies... have your differential diagnoses and rehabilitative skills kept pace with these advances??
The hip joint is truly one of the most amazing joints in the body. It is the critical link between the ambulating lower limbs and trunk. Its articular configuration allows almost unlimited directions of movement and it has more muscles attaching around it than any other single joint in the body.
As critical as the hip joint is to normal human function, accurate diagnosis of hip pathology has been difficult to obtain. However recent advances in MRI arthrography and hip arthroscopic surgery have given the medical community an improved understanding of hip pathologies. Unfortunately these interventions are often expensive and difficult to access.
This very practical course takes a very modern look at the structure of the hip including the crucial role muscle balance plays in maintaining normal function. Additionally, this course examines many of the traumatic and degenerative causes of anterior hip pain and highlights a progressive evidenced-based conservative rehabilitation program developed over a 15 year period by David Lindsay and colleagues at the University of Calgary Sport Medicine Centre.
- Learn about the different causes of anterior hip pain (AHP), including iliopsoas syndrome, labral tears, impingement syndromes, osteo-arthritis.
- Develop a clinical reasoning process along with enhanced assessment and palpation skills to assist differential diagnosis of AHP.
- Is arthroscopic surgery the answer? What are the implications and potential pitfalls?
- Develop an understanding of other non-surgical intervention strategies including an evidence-based, physiotherapy guided, hip rehabilitation program for AHP with a documented 80% success rate.
