OBJECTIVES - At the conclusion of this course the participant will be able to..
Rehab Course Objectives:
- Incorporate current evidence and clinical reasoning into history and physical examinations.
- Describe and demonstrate appropriate examination procedures – impairment and diagnostic tests.
- Articulate diagnostic and treatment decisions based on pathologies, movement impairments and irritability classifications for rehabilitation.
- Identify and understand the use of self-report outcome tools to assess function/ disability
- Incorporate current evidence and clinical reasoning for intervention selections.
- Describe and demonstrate treatment interventions – exercise, manual therapy, home exercise program instruction, and patient education.
- Incorporate current evidence into decision-making for the evaluation and treatment of shoulder pain.
PRO’s Course Objectives:
- Discuss the value of the use of PROs for the appraisal of value-based healthcare outcomes.
- Identify the criteria for selection of evidence-based PROs for musculoskeletal disorders.
- Describe the key psychometric and practical properties needed to establish adequacy of a PRO: appropriateness, practicality, feasibility, reliability, validity, responsiveness, error and clinically meaningful change.
- Interpret the scores generated from PRO scores for clinical decision-making and patient management.
- Describe how PROs can improve the delivery of care for individual and groups of patients, clinics, and clinicians.
- Describe and discuss strategies for systematic implementation of PROs in daily clinical practice.
Assessment of Learning Objectives: Via question and answer portions and through self-report on course evaluation/feedback form.
