Program
Course description
This is an evidence-based theoretical and practical course that is based on extensive clinical experience in the assessment, diagnosis and rehabilitation of upper and lower limb tendon pathologies.
The course program consists of the following components:
Day 1:
- Introduction: Normal tendon structure
- Tendon pathology: Aetiology and pathology
- The role of imaging in diagnosis and management
- Tendon physiology: Response to loading and unloading. The evidence for exercise
- Rotator cuff tendinopathy. Specific assessment and management
- Lateral epicondylopathy. Specific assessment and management
Day 2:
- Injections and medications
- Nutrition and tendon health
- Tendinopathy risk factors
- Patellar tendinopathy. Specific assessment and management
- Other interventions: The alternatives and the evidence. Taping, surgery, manual therapy, electrotherapy, acupuncture
- The future
- Discussion
Learning outcomes
1) To develop a better understanding and knowledge of the structure and function of normal tendons and changes associated with tendinopathy.
2) To develop a comprehensive subjective and physical evaluation strategy and management protocols for the major upper and lower limb tendinopathies.
3) To develop greater understanding and knowledge of the role of imaging and injections in the assessment and management of tendinopathies.
4) To develop a comprehensive understanding of the physiological response to tendon loading and the evidence base for exercise.
5) To develop greater understanding of the relevance of nutrition on the impact of tendon health.
6) To develop greater understanding of other interventions that may be used in the management of tendinopathies including taping, surgery, manual therapy, electrotherapy and acupuncture.
