Functional Assessment and Rehab of Musculoskeletal Disorders Course
Functional Assessment and Rehab of Musculoskeletal Disorders Course is organized by PT Seminars.
Course Description:
Since the beginning of the profession, therapists have been assessing patients using statically based, standard orthopedic tests. But recently, there is a growing focus on functional tests and assessments in order to accurately identify the functional deficits of each patient, and thus the treatment needed to resolve those deficits. Dr. Janda said that “The test is the exercise and the exercise is the test”. In light of Dr. Janda’s work, the relationship between chronic musculoskeletal conditions and Upper and Lower Crossed Syndromes will be described. Ultimately though, these conditions should be treated with functional rehab. The principles of these treatments will be covered.
This online certificate course for Physical Therapists & Occupational Therapists is a learning module taught by on-demand streaming video. At the end of the course, there will be a quiz. Upon successful completion of the quiz, a certificate confirming completion of the Functional Assessment and Rehab of Musculoskeletal Disorders Course will be issued.
