Balancing Mobility and Stability with FMTTM
Prerequisites: None
Required Course Preparation
Prior to this virtual course all attendees must complete required course preparation. The preparation for KSC includes one short video with a quiz. Plan to spend approximately 20-30 minutes learning this important information. Once enrolled in a course, required course preparation can be found by logging on to your IPA account and selecting "My Upcoming Courses." If you have any trouble accessing the required course preparation please call our office at 970-870-9521 for assistance. Please note that approved CEUs may vary depending on individual states' treatment of Online vs. Classroom Instruction.
It is recommended that each participant reviews the BIbliography and read any article they are unfamiliar with prior to the course. All Course Bibliographies
Required Equipment:
8 ft. Mobilization Belt 1.5" x 8' mobilization belt. You may order one from IPA or from a number of other providers. Orders must be placed at least three weeks prior to a course. Strap pad recommended. Order from IPA or bring your own. Order Mobilization Belt
Half Foam Roll (12" x 6" which measures 3" tall at the apex since the 6" round is cut in half) to use during the course. You may order one from IPA or from a number of other providers. Orders must be placed at least three weeks prior to a course. Order from IPA or bring your own. Order Half Foam Roll
Required Lab Subject:
All participants need a subject to practice on during lab sessions.
Purpose
This course is a lab-intensive introduction to the Functional Manual Therapy® system that will train the participants in the management of the Shoulder region. Participants will learn to treat and assess the Thoracic Girdle, Shoulder Girdle, and Intrinsic Motions of the Glenhumoral Joint.
Objectives
By the end of the course the participant will;
1) Demonstrate through small group discussion, monitored by the instructor, the ability to list:
• The underlying principles of a functional shoulder evaluation
• The biomechanical principles which govern shoulder function
• The mechanical, neuromuscular, and motor control impairments which can alter efficient shoulder function
• The functional interrelationship of the body’s systems and regions necessary for efficient shoulder function
2) Correctly utilize the manual and visual skills necessary to accurately:
• Evaluate the functional capacity of the shoulder region
• Identify the primary impairments which are limiting functional capacity
3) Perform the manual, observational and problem solving skills to:
• Assess the mechanical impairments contributing to the identified limitations of shoulder functional capacity
• Assess the neuromuscular CoreFirst strategies necessary for efficient shoulder actions.
• Perform appropriate mobilization and re-education treatment to facilitate enhanced shoulder function.
4) Identify through the appropriate manual skills the mechanical, neuromuscular, and motor control impairments and to design and implement a treatment program to restore mobility and functional capacity to the following structures;
• First and second rib
• Upper Thoracic Spine
• Shoulder Girdle
• Clavicle
• Glenohumeral intrinsic motions
• Glenohumeral End of Range motions
5) Demonstrate, through supervised lab practice sessions, the ability to perform the appropriate manual skills to identify and treat impairments of the following structures:
• Soft Tissues of the cervicothoracic, shoulder girdle, and glenohumeral regions
• Articular Structures of the cervicothoracic, shoulder girdle, and glenohumeral
• Neurovascular Structures
6) Perform, through supervised lab practice sessions, the ability to problem solve and utilize the appropriate manual skills of PNF to treat identified impairments of neuromuscular function and motor control for the
• Cervicothoracic
• Shoulder girdle
• Glenohumeral regions
7) Through a case scenario, will develop an appropriate home program, based on shoulder impairments, utilizing the principles of home program development presented in the course.
8) Participate in guided discussions, related to the current evidence for shoulder assessment and treatment. Citing the findings from one recent research article that supports a treatment strategy for the shoulder region.
9) Given a case scenario the participant will DEVELOP three (3) structural and functional goals for patient care.”
