Selective Functional Movement Assessment: An Algorithmic Approach to Diagnosis
and Treatment – Dr Michael Voight
By the end of this session delegates will be able to:

Understand the theoretical concepts and current research
related to movement dysfunction and the importance of assessment;
-
Describe why it is important to assess movement patterns in
both the loaded and unloaded positions and how this information can be used to
guide interventions;

examination process and appreciate that pain alters motor control;
-
Have an understanding as to the clinical reasoning behind the
selective functional movement assessment;
-
Use the information gained from the SFMA to select key
impairments to assess and design appropriate interventions to normalize
dysfunctional movement.
Sunday 29th April 2012
Diastasis Rectus Abdominis and the Implications for Returning to
Sport after Pregnancy – Diane Lee
By the end of this session delegates will be able to:
-
Have an understanding of the current research pertaining to
the abdominal wall and pregnancy/delivery (including diastasis rectus
abdominis);
-
Have an understanding of the clinical reasoning and
interpretation of the findings from the following aspects of the objective
examination (complete the Clinical Puzzle);
(i) load transfer tests to determine if strategy chosen is
optimal or not for the joints of the low thorax, lumbar spine & pelvis;
(ii) detailed assessment of neural function of the abdominal
wall including recruitment patterning during key screening tasks for abdominal
wall function (curl-up, one-leg standing) and the use of ultrasound imaging;
(iii) detailed assessment of function of the linea alba (myofascial
system) including the use of ultrasound imaging;
-
Understand when to refer for surgical repair of the midline
abdominal fascia in patients presenting with diastasis rectus abdominis
(determine if mechanisms for form & force closure are intact or not);
-
Understand how
The Integrated Systems Model
is used to
optimize strategies for function such that the musculoskeletal, continence and
respiratory systems are supported across multiple & meaningful tasks for
individual patients whose goal is to return to an active, sporting lifestyle.
Applying Neuromuscular Training Principles
to the Rehabilitation of Groin Injuries in Professional Footballers – Dr Wayne Diesel
By the end of this session delegates will be able to:
-
Have an insight into principles and benefits of Neuromuscular
Training Techniques in Rehabilitation of Sports Injuries;

injured players between phases of Rehab.
The PPEF Lecture
Golf Fitness Screen: Preventing Injury and
Improving Performance – Dr Michael Voight
By the end of the session, delegates will be able to:
-
Understand the major physical performance factors that limit
most participants from reaching their potential and potentially lead to injury;
-
Have an understanding as to the clinical reasoning behind the TPI screening process;
-
Use the information gained from the golf performance screen to
identify key impairments/physical limitations in order to design appropriate interventions to
enhance performance and minimize the risk for injury.
Return to Play following Injury: Fingers Crossed or an
Assessment Paradigm? – Dr Zoe Hudson
By the end of this session delegates will be able to:
-
Develop an understanding of the issues to consider for late
stage rehabilitation for different athletes;

-
Provide evidence based, functional & client specific shoulder
rehabilitation across the spectrum of patient parameters.
