C-705 Advanced Lower Quadrant Integration = 56 hours

This course will utilize case-based instruction to illustrate specific health condition scripts of the integrated lower quadrant and the decision-making process inherent to their total management. Designed to develop intermediate to advanced clinical reasoning skills in utilizing a comprehensive and contemporary manual physical therapy approach, participants will develop the skills necessary to necessary to construct detailed exploration of the etiology of presenting signs and symptoms. Complex, multi-region patient/client impairments of the neuromusculoskeletal system will be analyzed in an instructor-specific methodology, based on the various motion, load transfer and control impairment models available, including original, and novel, thoughts, and theory. Management will focus on a multi-faceted approach integrating the functional needs of and in collaboration with the patient/client. Total management encompasses a manual physical therapy approach that integrates hands-on joint and soft tissue neurophysiological techniques, integration of pain and health sciences, neuromuscular re-education, sensorimotor integration, and individualized skilled prescription of therapeutic activities and exercise.

Focus of course: To facilitate an independent course, but also retain the concepts of regional inter-dependence, the faculty will primarily focus on the following regions in this class.

Part A: Advanced clinical reasoning of lower quadrant (LQ) syndromes, LQ closed-chain function, advanced assessment of and integrated manual physical therapy approach to the lower leg-foot region, thoraco-lumbar junction region and sacro-iliac (gait, knee, tibio-fibular, patellofemoral, ankle, foot, thoracolumbar and sacro-iliac mobility)

Part B: Advanced clinical reasoning of lower quadrant (LQ) syndromes, LQ closed-chain function, advanced assessment of and integrated manual physical therapy approach to the pelvic girdle, lumbar and hip unit (gait, sacro-iliac, pubic symphysis, sacro-coccygeal (external), lumbar spine and hip region).
