Core Functional Testing and Training

Presented by Rehab Connections   Reviews, Comments, and Pearls

Description

Our "core" -- It is a biomechanical segment for stabilization yet its mobility is vital to function. Consider the numerous approaches of PNF, Pilates, yoga, Feldenkrais, movement impairment systems, martial arts, and virtually any contact sport; "core" training is an integral piece. Therapeutic activities and neuromuscular re-education are key components of physical therapy and occupational therapy when addressing the "core" so in this virtual workshop, a very practical, patient-oriented model will emphasize "core" interventions for optimal trunk and spine function based on functional testing.

This workshop pairs well with Top to Bottom Core.

 Virtual labs with live demonstration     Patient examples    Evidence-informed  

Instruction level: Various
CE contact hours: 4.0 (IL) *** Duration: 3.3 hours
Intended audience: PTs, PTAs, OTs, OTAs

Topics

• Functional tests specific to "core" stabilization
• Specific "core" sequences and progressions for seated patients
• Examination, facilitation, and training of key muscles of postural control and stability
• Evidence-informed interventions that maximize patient adherence
• Training the "core" is training the brain
• Verbal and tactile cues, modifications, precautions, and rationale for selection of exercise/activity/movement that demonstrate skilled intervention
• Key template phrases for efficient documentation and showing improvement

Objectives

By the completion of this workshop you will be able to correctly:

1. Perform and grade functional strength tests for "core" stabilization.
2. Identify at least one purpose, cue, and progression for exercise/activity/movement interventions performed during virtual lab sessions.
3. Incorporate simple biofeedback techniques to enhance neuromuscular re-education.
4. Describe how optimal postural alignment, breathing, and extremities are facilitators.
