TOTAL KNEE ARTHROPLASTY AND HEMIARTHROPLASTY
Function of the knee as it relates to articular cartilage diseases
- Anatomy of the articular cartilage and the progression of arthritis
- Surgical options with gender-specific components and hemiarthroplasty
- Missing links in preparing the operative procedure for the progression of the three phases of rehabilitation
MOBILITY AND MUSCULAR RECRUITMENT WITH EVIDENCE-BASED EXERCISES
- Manual exercise for the patella-femoral joint
- Extension re-lengthening by pre-functional mobility from hip to foot
- Hip core strengthening – why is this so vital to recovery?
- Open kinetic chain muscle recruitment – why terminal extension and short arc quads are not the same thing
- Hamstrings over quadriceps co-activation exercises to prepare for function
- Progressive closed kinetic chain loading: knowing that proprioception may be the missing link in recovery
LAB #1 – KNEE:
- Manual therapy for mobility of the knee
- Open and closed kinetic chain exercise for proprioception
TOTAL SHOULDER ARTHROPLASTY INCLUDING HUMERAL HEAD REPLACEMENT
- Regular verses reverse prosthesis
- Hemiarthroplasty for humeral head replacement
- Why consider the reverse prosthesis and how it effects recovery
- How do patients prescribe their function?
- The importance of the Subscapularis protective protocol
- Self-applied range of motion needs to be reconsidered
- Scapular mobility and stabilization: the core of shoulder surgery recovery
- Three vital motion patterns that produce the zone of function
EVIDENCE-BASED EXERCISES BASED ON THE MODE OF CONTRACTION
- What is the missing link of total shoulder replacement
- Formula of progressive rehab: pivoters, protectors, and positioners
- Progressive exercise based on the modes of contraction
- Corrective exercises for elevation “hike” dysfunction
- The geriatric “Big Three”
LAB #2 – SHOULDER
- Manual preparation of scapular and gleno-humeral mobility
- Exercises for stabilization toward function
