Optimising dynamic function of the lumbo pelvic and the older hip
This course was previously know as 'Optimising motor control of the lumbo pelvic and the older hip'
This course provides a comprehensive muscular assessment and exercise rehab program for the lumbo-pelvic region and a wide variety of age-related hip conditions that present for assessment. This two-day course is very practical where participants are exposed to a wide variety of functional exercises and theory/research behind how to assess and progress a lumbo/pelvic functional program and rehab strategies for the older hip patients.
A comprehensive exercise protocol specific to age related Hip dysfunction will be explained and demonstrated with take home exercise examples for clinical use. The muscle assessment and exercise program design can be progressed from very specific retraining of spinal, pelvic and hip muscular stability through to dynamic functional movement patterns required for work, ADL through to high level sport.
Learning outcomes
- Learn assessment of dysfunctional local/global muscle recruitment patterns of the lumbar spine, pelvis and hips.
- Incorporate a grading system to assess and progress a lumbo-pelvic functional program from the acute stage of treatment, to return to normal function.
- Practice a wide variety of graded and progressed functional exercises using proprioceptive cues and recognising the correct level of exercise difficulty and how to progress
- Design effective manual therapy, exercise and education intervention for the older hip
- Design a dysfunction specific exercise program to optimise function in the older hip
Prerequisites
- Pre-reading materials distributed at registration cut-off date.
- This course is available to qualified and AHPRA registered physiotherapists and may be also available to other AHPRA registered practitioners.
