Description:

Using ​lecture ​and ​demonstration, ​this ​course ​will ​provide ​an ​update ​of ​the ​concepts ​and ​principles ​used ​to ​determine ​a ​movement ​system ​diagnosis ​and ​to ​provide ​diagnosis-directed ​treatment ​of ​pre-arthritic ​hip ​disease. ​Bony ​and ​ligamentous ​abnormalities ​associated ​with ​femoroacetabular ​impingement ​(FAI) ​and ​structural ​instability ​will ​be ​presented. ​Muscle ​performance ​impairments ​in ​force ​production ​and ​activation ​will ​be ​discussed ​as ​they ​relate ​to ​movement ​system ​diagnoses ​of ​the ​hip. ​The ​course ​will ​emphasize ​the ​determination ​of ​a ​movement ​system ​diagnosis, ​based ​on ​a ​clinical ​examination ​to ​assess ​movements ​and ​postures ​observed ​during ​exam ​items ​and ​performance ​of ​functional ​activities. ​Selection ​and ​performance ​of ​corrective ​exercises ​and ​functional ​activities ​will ​be ​discussed ​and ​demonstrated.
