Contemporary Topics in Sports &
Orthopedic Therapy
(6.0 Contact Hours)
Description
This course will cover the current “hot topics” in
sports and orthopaedic physical therapy (and in
the popular media, to a certain extent) including
concussion management, the epidemic of arm
injuries in youth baseball, the phenomenon of
early single-sport specialization, and the emergence of femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) as
a source of hip pain in active young persons. This
course will provide contemporary, evidencedbased insights into each of these topics in a manner that is relevant to the clinical practice of
physical therapy.
Specific presentations and objectives:
“Contemporary management of acute and persistent concussion: a physical therapist’s guide
to assessment and treatment strategies.”
At the conclusion of this course, participants will
be prepared to:
1. Describe the pathophysiology and clinical
consequences of a concussion, and demonstrate an understanding that each concussion
is unique, and thus each patient should be
treated based on his/her unique clinical presentation;
2. Perform essential assessments, including the
patient interview, neurocognitive testing,
vestibulo-occular testing, and balance assessment;
3. Determine the primary clinical trajectory of a
persistent concussion injury based on the
assessment (trajectories include cognitive/
fatigue, migraine, vestibular, ocular, cervical,
and anxiety/mood);
4. Determine which patients need to be referred
to other medical disciplines (optometry,
ENT, primary care, neurology, mental health,
etc.);
5. Provide physical therapy care as indicated,
including assisting in return-to-play and return-tolearn decision-making.
“The epidemic of shoulder and elbow injuries
in youth baseball: facts, fallacies, and forces
for positive change.”
At the conclusion of this course, participants will
be prepared to:
1. Describe what is known (based on research)
about identified risk factors related to shoulder and elbow injuries in youth pitchers;
2. Perform a brief pitching screen to identify
pitching pathomechanics;
3. Discuss expert-based and evidence-based
recommendations related to minimizing the
risk of shoulder and elbow injuries in youth
baseball.
“An evidence-based look at early single-sport
specialization versus multisport participation:
which is best for performance and health?”
At the conclusion of this course, participants will
be prepared to:
1. Demonstrate an understanding of the historical development and growth of early singlesport specialization in the US;
2. Demonstrate an understanding of what the
available evidence shows with respect to
physical injury risks, psychosocial ramifications, and competitive success/opportunity in
those who specialize early compared to those
who do not;
3. Provide an intelligent and evidence-based
perspective on the best time frame to begin
specialization in a single sport (in other
words, is there a best time frame in which to
commit to a single sport, before which results
in an increased likelihood of physical injury
and burnout, but after which the athlete is too
far behind his or her peers to catch up from a
skill or competitive standpoint?).
“Hip pain and femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) in sports: what PTs need to
know.”
At the conclusion of this course, participants
will be prepared to:
1. Demonstrate an understanding of the types
of FAI (cam, pincer, and mixed);
2. Perform a physical examination and assessment that includes specific tests that
suggest the possibility of FAI;
3. Demonstrate an appropriate level of understanding of the non-PT means of definitively diagnosing FAI, including imaging
and injection techniques;
4. Provide rehabilitative interventions to clients with FAI (from both a non-surgical
and a post-surgical perspective).
