Fall Prevention: What Works and How to Do It & Evidence-Based Observational Running Analysis Saturday, May 30 2:00pm - 5:30pm Luncheon at 12:00pm Fall Prevention: What Works and How to Do It Evidence-Based Observational Running Analysis Educational Goal Educational Goal Participants will be able to describe the evidence behind fall prevention strategies. The goal of this course is to teach clinicians the latest research on running biomechanics and equip them with the necessary tools to perform a comprehensive observational running analysis for runners of all levels. Course Objectives By the end of this course, participants will: • • • Be able to choose the outcome measures that identify fall risk for different settings and patient abilities. Prescribe evidence-based exercise strategies in order to reduce fall risk. Implement treatment strategies that optimally challenge the patient and remain safe. Erica Pitsch, PT, MPT, DPT, NCS is a Health Sciences Assistant Clinical Professor in the UCSF Department of Physical Therapy and Rehabilitation Science. Dr. Pitsch earned her Master of Physical Therapy from the Graduate Program in Physical Therapy at UCSF/SFSU, and her post-professional Doctor of Physical Therapy from the University of Southern California in 2010. She received her Neurologic Clinical Specialist certification in 2012. The instructors will break down the critical phases of running, highlight key events, and relate abnormal biomechanics to common overuse injuries and performance issues. Participants will be prepared to perform a comprehensive observational running analysis within five minutes. Course Objectives Participants will be able to: • • • • • • Identify common injuries affecting recreational runners. Describe the evidence behind biomechanical analysis for common running injuries including PFPS & ITB syndrome. List the clinical corollaries to common biomechanical dysfunctions that can be tested in PT evaluation. Execute a running evaluation within 5 minutes using a standard treadmill, video camera, and free software. Compare recent trends and evidence in running culture, including Chi Running, Barefoot, and Pose method. Discuss EBM treatment strategies for each of the biomechanical abnormalities identified. Richard Souza, PT, PhD is an Associate Professor with joint appointments in Physical Therapy and Rehabilitation Science, Radiology & Biomedical Imaging, and Orthopaedic Surgery at UCSF. His areas of expertise include biomechanics, medical imaging for orthopaedics, running overuse injuries, motion analysis, and osteoarthritis. Dr. Souza currently teaches PT 210 Radiology for Physical Therapists in the UCSF/SFSU Doctor of Physical Therapy curriculum. Erin Green, PT, DPT is a Staff Physical Therapist at the UCSF Outpatient Faculty Practice. Her areas of expertise include application of manual therapy and therapeutic exercise for the treatment of patients with orthopedic and sportsrelated injuries, as well as return-to-sport treatment progression and management. Dr. Green received her BA in Psychology with a minor in Spanish Literature from the University of California, San Diego and her DPT degree from UCSF/SFSU in 2009. She completed the Kaiser Hayward Advanced Fellowship in Orthopedic Manual Therapy in 2013.
