Course Outline:

Hour 1

  • Functional Exercise progression-
  • Pain and inflammation
  • Posture
  • Joint Integrity and Mobility
  • ROM/Muscle Length
  • Sensory and Reflex Integrity
  • Motor Function
  • Balance, Gait, Locomotion
  • Muscular Performance
  • Skills
  • Biomechanical principle 1
  • Biomechanical principle 2
  • Biomechanical principle 3
  • Biomechanical principle 5
  • Patient positioning principles:
  • Use length of lever arm
  • Align origin with axis of rotation
  • Ensure minimal force angle at anatomical range
  • Keep band in plane of motion

Hour 2

  • Indications for elastic resistance
  • Impaired Posture
  • Impaired Joint Mobility
  • Impaired Rom/Muscle Length
  • Impaired Sensory/Reflex Integrity
  • Impaired Motor Function
  • Impaired Balance/Gait
  • Impaired Muscular Performance
  • Impaired Function
  • Impaired Aerobic Capacity
  • Discussion of the  sources of flexibility and treatment strategies
  • Soft tissue mobility and interventions-skin, superficial fascia, muscle, deep fascia
  • Muscle Stretching
  • Joint Range of Motion
  • Bone
  • Cartilage

Hour 3

  • Discussion of and demonstration of exercises using  stretch strap; No stretching leads to:
  • Decreased mobility
  • Decreased muscle metabolism
  • Decreased muscle coordination
  • Decreased power "output"
  • Decreased speed
  • Increased risk of injuries
  • Discussion on proprioception. Progression of balance and stabilization training

Hour 4

  • Discussion of 3 levels of functional stability; joint instability, vicious cycle of instability
  • Steps of sensorimotor training, steps and progression for sensorimotor training
  • Stages and importance of sensorimotor training

Hour 5

  • Discussion of Advantages and Disadvantages of stabilization training
  • Document services delivered for evidenced- based results

Description:

This course expounds on the evidenced-based research and intervention techniques with resistive bands, flexibility treatment, and balance strategies for the healthcare professional to improve all aspects of patient care. The hands-on treatment techniques and interventions discussed herein can be used immediately and in all clinical settings. The scientific basis and clinical research of resistive, sensorimotor, and stabilization training and progression for patients of all levels is reviewed. Effective documentation strategies for payor reimbursement are also reviewed.

At the end of this course, the healthcare professional will be able to integrate stretch bands, resistive bands, and balance trainers into treatment strategies from pediatric to geriatric populations.
