Milestone CE

Objectives

Course Goals:This course is intended to instruct the professional through a self-paced study on Pathology and Intervention of Extremity Injuries in Musculoskeletal Rehabilitation. Professional Learning Objectives 1. Recognize the signs that a patient with phalangeal fractures will need surgery. 2. Identify fractures of the distal phalanx. 3. Differentiate between the distal phalanx and the middle phalax. 4. Identify complications associated with prolonged immobilization. 5. Discuss treatment of mallet finger. 6. Recognize the most common complication of lateral dislocation of the PIP joint. 7. Discuss fractures of the metacarpal head. 8. Define skier’s thumb. 9. Recognize the most common cause of spontaneous flexor tendon rupture. 10. List the zones of flexor tendon injuries. 11. Differentiate between flexor tendon repair and extensor tendon repair. 12. Discuss the TFCC load test and how it is used to detect ulnocarpal abutment or TFCC tears. 13. Explain De Quevain’s disease and how it affects the radial aspect of the wrist and thumb motion. 14. Define arthrogenic muscle inhibition (AMI). 15. Discuss cryotherapy and TENS and their ability to diminish AMI. 16. Identify which exercises can be used to isolate specific joints or muscles to improve ROM, strength and movement patterns or unwanted varus/valgus forces that may occur during weight-bearing exercises. 17. Define medial tibial stress syndrome (MTSS). 18. Recognize the red flags for tibial stress fractures. 19. Discuss treatment of chronic exertional compartment syndrome. 20.

Description

This course is offered in cooperation with Elsevier Science Publishing and utilizes text from the textbook “Pathology and Intervention in Musculoskeletal Rehabilitation” by David J. Magee, PhD, PT, James E. Zachazewski, PT, DPT, SCS, ATC and William S. Quillen PT, PhD, SCS, FACSM © 2009 Instructional Level: Beginner to Intermediate Pathology and Intervention in Musculoskeletal Rehabilitation provides clear guidance on patient management relative to specific musculoskeletal pathology, injury, and illness – all based on a sound understanding of basic science and principles of practice. Throughout the text, detailed evidence-based descriptions of current and practical rehabilitation methods as well as the tools needed to design and implement a rehabilitation program for musculoskeletal pathology. Presented is the rationale for choosing an intervention along with challenges presented by the pathology, stage of healing, cautions and contraindications to treatment, different treatment considerations based on best evidence and clinical reasoning considerations. Surgical pathology is discussed when appropriate, along with the interventions providing the best evidence for clinical decision making. To better meet your professional needs, this fully illustrated text of 944 pages has been carefully broken down into 7 modules.
