If you are looking for SOLUTIONS to the evaluation and treatment of complex shoulder pathologies, this is the seminar for you.

Join expert Michael T. Gross, PT, PhD, FAPTA, for an information-packed day focused on giving you the tools you need to overcome the sometimes difficult task of intervening for shoulder injuries. Learn new strategies to assess and plan treatment effectively for:

• Rotator Cuff Tear Restoration & Management
• Shoulder Impingement Syndrome
• Anterior Glenohumeral Instability
• SLAP Lesions
• Adhesive Capsulitis
• Thoracic Outlet Compression Syndrome
• Shoulder Arthroplasties

Learn more than just the etiology of these common shoulder complex pathologies. Learn how to interpret clinical tests and recognize the patient’s problem quickly. Rapid recognition is imperative not only in developing the appropriate course of action for the patient, but also ensuring the patient has the best chance for a successful rehabilitation. Acquire take-home tips and techniques that will change your clinical practice the very next day!

OUTLINE

Rotator Cuff Tears

• Surgical restoration of normal and altered anatomy
• Cluster tests, modified empty can test
• Anatomic repair vs. “the best you can do”
• Conservative management
• Post-operative management

Shoulder Impingement Syndrome

• Anatomic and functional contributors
• Cluster tests, modified Hawkins-Kennedy, modification of Neer’s test
• Surgical repair procedures for primary impingement
• Conservative management based on etiologic factors
• Post-operative management

Anterior Glenohumeral Instability

• Anatomic restraints
• Etiologic factors
• Apprehension, Jobe Relocation, Release Test, Anterior Drawer, Push-Pull
• Anatomic Repair, Bristow, Laterjat, Putti-Platt
• Rehabilitative management

SLAP Lesions

• Classification of lesions
• Biceps Load II, Anterior Slide Test
• Surgical management and rehabilitation based on lesion type

Adhesive Capsulitis

• Stages based on symptoms
• Etiologic factors
• Effects of conservative versus invasive intervention
• Conservative management based on stage of disorder
• Anterior, Posterior, Inferior Glenohumeral Mobilizations and Scauplo-thoracic Mobilizations

Thoracic Outlet Compression Syndrome

• Anatomic locations of potential compromise
• Etiologic factors in each anatomic location
• Intervention based on location of compromise and etiologic contributors
• Assessment Tests: Adson’s, Military Bracing, Hyperabduction
• Surgical Procedures: Cervical Rib Excision, Scalenectomy

Shoulder Arthroplasties

• Indications for
  • Hemi-arthroplasty
  • Total shoulder arthroplasty
  • Reverse total shoulder arthroplasty
• Outcomes
• Rehabilitation strategies

Review of Special Tests and Mobilizations – Lab

OBJECTIVES

1. Explain the etiology of common shoulder complex pathologies and identify possible anatomic and functional movement etiologic factors
2. Identify which special tests should be used to identify specific shoulder complex pathologies and be able to apply these tests proficiently
3. Determine which patients are appropriate candidates for conservative intervention or should be referred for assessment as surgical candidates
4. Utilize effective glenohumeral and scapula-thoracic mobilization techniques specific to shoulder complex pathologies
5. Devise appropriate treatment plans and enable effective patient intervention based on clinical findings
