Keynote Speakers & Workshop Faculty
The goals of this conference are twofold; first, we aim to engage and guide clinicians to more comprehensively explore and successfully utilize the full potential of the McKenzie Method of MDT with the broad spectrum of musculoskeletal patients. With a combination of problem solving, practical workshops, reflective thinking and didactic presentations, the MDT clinician of all levels should expect to gain clear clinical advances and have a greater depth of understanding in the practical application of MDT principles.
Secondly, the conference will give the participants a perspective on how MDT fits into the broader health care landscape and their potential role within that environment. As the use and understanding of MDT continues to grow, new fields and applications will need to be explored to help provide solutions to problems encountered in the care of patients with musculoskeletal conditions.
At the conclusion of this conference, participants will be able to:
1.
|
Recognize and appreciate the ways in which MDT fits into the broader healthcare environment and discuss the potential of MDT to address some of the future needs and demands. |
2.
|
Explain how developments in tendon research impact the MDT clinician in their management of patients with Contractile Dysfunction. |
3.
|
Demonstrate the applicability of MDT to the field of sports medicine and the management of patients with athletic injuries. |
4.
|
Identify and interpret the implications of MDT as a comprehensive classification system for all MSK problems. |
5.
|
Improve clinician's ability to differentially diagnose into subgroups of OTHER when the classification does not fit into three mechanical syndromes. |
6.
|
Interpret psychosocial influences in relation to MDT and apply a biopsychosocial approach to enhance outcomes. |
7.
|
Analyze and apply MDT procedures in the spine and extremity and recognize common errors in their application. |
Applications for CEUs will be submitted for PTs and PTAs in states requiring pre-authorization through state APTA or licensing agencies. When available, approvals will be posted here. For other states or disciplines not identified, continuing education/medical units may not be available. |
