Description:

Clinical assessment and treatment of patients with SLAP injuries is challenging even for the most experienced clinician. This course discusses the pathophysiology and related anatomy for SLAP disorders in both the athletic and general populations. The relationship between SLAP injuries, scapula dyskinesis and posterior shoulder tightness is explored. The clinical evaluation, as well as differential diagnosis, for patients with suspected SLAP tears is presented, and the most evidence-based clinical / special tests is discussed. Updated clinical prediction rules pertaining to successful non-surgical management are presented. A comprehensive evidence-based rehabilitation approach is emphasized, with a focus on scapula stabilization and neuromuscular control exercises, posterior glenohumeral capsule stretches, rotator cuff strengthening, postural correction and soft tissue mobilization techniques. Video demonstration of exercise and manual interventions are utilized to reinforce correct techniques. Phase-based rehabilitation guidelines are presented, including transitioning the patient to sport-specific training programs.

Full Course Description

Goals & Objectives:

Course Goals:

The aim of this course is to present current pathophysiological models, differential diagnosis and an impairment-based approach to rehabilitation that is based on the best available evidence.

Professional Objectives:

Recognize normal and abnormal anatomy of the superior labrum of the shoulder.
Identify the 4 major types of SLAP tears, based on Snyder classification.
Recognize the relationship between posterior shoulder capsule tightness and scapula dyskinesis.
Recognize the relationship between posterior impingement and posterior glenohumeral capsule tightness.
Identify the “peel back” mechanism as a cause of SLAP tears in the overhead athlete.
Select the most evidence -based tests for assessing scapula dyskinesis.
Identify the most evidence-based clinical test /test cluster for SLAP tears.
Identify evidence-based tests for identifying disorders of the proximal biceps.
Identify 2 exercises that elicit high EMG levels of the lower trapezius muscle.
Identify 3 stretches for the posterior glenohumeral capsule.
