Description:

Standard physical therapy and physical therapy assistant curriculums do not comprehensively address knowledge of sport-related injury or clinical reasoning skills to treat highly functioning, yet still injured, individuals. This course is designed for physical therapists and physical therapy assistants treating patients in an orthopedic or sports setting with a basic understanding of common musculoskeletal or overuse injuries in runners. This is an intermediate course level and requires basic knowledge of musculoskeletal injuries, gait mechanics, and functional anatomy. In this course, we will review the current running-related epidemiology, discuss clinical examination of the injured runner, including a practical method for performing gait analysis, and explore clinical reasoning surrounding assessment and treatment selection for injured runners.

This course will improve general knowledge of the underlying paradigms and research that have shaped current running-related injury assessment and intervention techniques and provide practice-specific tools to increase and enrich your clinical skill sets. After completion of this course, participants should be able to (1) appropriately assess injured runners and identify key contributing factors to injury, (2) employ clinical reasoning using evidence-based approach, and (3) develop and select appropriate interventions to treat common running-related injuries. Clinicians should expect to improve clinical reasoning skills and to apply a new skill set of gait analysis to enhance success in the evaluation and treatment of injured runners.

Goals & Objectives:

Course Goals:

The purpose of this intermediate-level course for physical therapists and physical therapy assistants is to improve evaluation skills and intervention selection regarding running-related injuries. To achieve this, this course will (1) review the impact of running injuries and contributing factors, (2) discuss the underlying theories that have shaped current and emerging assessment methods and treatments, and (3) detail appropriate tests and protocols for evaluation and treatment of the injured runner. 

Professional Objectives:

  1. List common running-related injuries and recognize relevant contributing factors.
  2. Summarize common biomechanical and spatiotemporal elements of running gait and how deviations may contribute to injury.
  3. Utilize appropriate clinical tests for evaluation of functional limitations and impairments related to running injuries.
  4. Utilize gait analysis protocols to assess patients who have or are at risk for running-related injuries.
  5. Select appropriate interventions and formulate treatment plans for injured runners using clinical reasoning.
