Objectives

1. Discuss the latest evidence-based research concerning the multimodal approach to treating frequent orthopedic conditions and analyze strategies to integrate new interventions into treatment in a meaningful manner that aligns with the patients’ interests, values, and needs.
2. Develop skills to correct and improve gait and motion in patients with common lower extremity conditions, enabling meaningful community engagement, independence, and participation in purposeful activities through the implementation of evidence-based manual therapy interventions.
3.  Acquire tools and techniques to effectively address compensatory patterns observed in patients with adhesive capsulitis, rotator cuff pathologies, and shoulder arthroplasties to enhance function, participation in occupation, and ability to execute meaningful ADLs.

Outline

• Identify trends in care associated with “factory PT” and need for personalized care 
• Recognize a trend toward niche practices and direct access care  
• Break away from standard testing with newfound functional assessments 

• Address leg length discrepancies and associated challenges up the kinetic chain
• Address pathological gait with manual therapy and corrective exercises
• Correct compensatory patterns in patients with adhesive capsulitis and shoulder-shrug
• Integrate short lever and long lever shoulder AROM exercises into the POC
• Resolve motion limitations with multiple modalities: kinesiology taping, PNF techniques, fascial plane interventions, and functional mobilizations 
• Challenge patient progress with dual task interventions and high intensity interval training 

• Assess kinetic impairments leading to pathological gait patterns 
• Achieve balance exceeding current normative data
