PNLQ: Peripheral Neuropathic Syndromes Lower Quarter

Course Cost:  $661.00.  Early Bird Discount $595.00 for Registrations One Month Prior to Course

Purpose
This two-day lab course will present concepts of differential diagnosis and treatment of patients with lower extremity radicular symptoms, pioneered by Bob Elvey PT, G.D.M.T.  Emphasis will be placed on precise physical evaluation of neural, articular, and muscular tissues in order to allow for the specific treatment of each. In particular, this course will cover the differentiation of pain sources within the lumbar spine, the piriformis triangle, the hip joint, and the peripheral nerves themselves. Specific evaluation of the lumbar and sacral plexus will be demonstrated. This course will cover well-recognized Orthopedic, Industrial, and Sports Medicine disorders of the lower quarter.  These are including but not limited to piriformis syndromes, lumbar stenosis, "chronic hamstring tears," “failed back syndrome", nerve root adhesions, peroneal and tarsal tunnel syndromes, chronic plantar fasciitis etc. Differences between neuropathic and neurogenic pain syndromes including a review of new research into the treatment of CRPS I and CRPS II will be presented.  Real patient examinations, videos, case presentations and supervised labs will be used to further allow for application of the material into the participants daily practice.

Objectives
The participant will be able to identify:
~The mechanisms by which neural tissue may in itself be a pain source.
~The role neural tissue may play in conditions of the lower quarter commonly evaluated and treated by physical therapists.
~The pathophysiology of neuropathic pain and the resultant widespread influence on the musculoskeletal system, patterned movement, and overall lower quarter function.
~Differential diagnosis and specific treatment progressions in lower quarter neuropathic syndromes. 

The participant will develop the manual and observational skills to:
~Assess the six specific and sensitive tests for ruling in or out neuropathic syndromes as the primary or secondary driver of a patient’s dysfunction.
~Assess the specific pain driver location for application of techniques for each individual patient.
~Perform the appropriate manual treatment and home program development to decrease pain and restore function in lower quarter neuropathic patients.
~Perform, specific to each patient, re-evaluation techniques to insure efficacy of treatment protocols. 

By the completion of the course, participant will demonstrate the ability to rule in and rule out neuropathic pain as the causation of patient’s pain, pattern losses, and functional disability.  Participants will be able to describe the complexity and far reaching consequences peripheral nerve irritability can have on musculoskeletal tissues and function.  Participants will be able to identify standard orthopedic maladies of the lower quarter that can have their origins in neurogenic inflammation.  Participants will be able to describe the specific pathophysiological changes that lead to these syndromes and how the treatment skill learned in this seminar helps to reverse this pathology.

By the end of the course, participants will demonstrate the skills and knowledge base to integrate both the evaluation skills and the treatment protocols into their normal protocols.  Participants will be able to not only successfully apply manual techniques in specific positions, but devise specific home programs to enhance the progression of their patients.

During this course, the participant will participate in guided discussions related to the current evidence and research into Neuropathic Pain Syndromes.

Round About 5K

The Round “About 5k” is an enjoyable scenic run/walk (strollers welcome!) weaving and winding through the streets of Deer Park, including two roundabouts hence the name. The proceeds from the Round “About 5k” benefit The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society (LLS), whose mission is to: Cure leukemia, lymphoma, Hodgkin’s disease and myeloma, and improve the quality of life of patients and their families.

LLS is the world’s largest voluntary health agency dedicated to blood cancer. LLS funds lifesaving blood cancer research around the world and provides free information and support services.

GAIT: Functional Gait: Component Assessment and Treatment

to Oct 9

GAIT: Functional Gait: Component Assessment and Treatment

  • Deer Park Physical Therpay (map)
  • Google Calendar ICS

Prerequisites: PNF I (Note: The Kaiser Vallejo fellowship will no longer serve as a PNFI prerequiste substitute.)

Required Equipment: Please bring a mobilization strap to the course on Saturday and Sunday. Mobilization straps may be ordered from IPA, and shipped directly to the course if ordered at least 2 weeks prior to course commencement. IPA Mobilization Belts are 1.5 inches x 8 feet.

Optional Tools:  Kong tool, Fascia Freer and any other mobilization tools are useful on Saturday and Sunday. These optional tools aid in learning treatment techniques.

Course Cost:  $595.00

Purpose
Many aspects of function are impeded by motor control problems that are reflected in a patient’s gait and rolling patterns. The skill to observe and then affect a positive impact on a patient’s gait dysfunction is a powerful tool in the total rehabilitation of both orthopedic and neurological patients. Building on the foundational skills learned in other IPA courses,Functional Gait emphasizes component assessment and the governing structural and motor control factors which influence each component. Each gait component is self-evaluated,assessed by two partners, and then treated using PNF, CFS, and FM treatment strategies.

Objectives
Identify the mechanical, neuromuscular and motor control principles which govern efficient gait.

Evaluate each gait component through self and partner assessment, focusing on the pelvis, hip, knee, foot and ankle, thorax, scapula, and shoulder girdle regions.

Develop appropriate PNF, CFS, and FM treatment strategies to treat identified dysfunctions in your partner.

Correlate current literature to course material.

Couse Cost:  $695.00

Purpose
To effectively treat as a Functional Manual TherapistTM, one must address the interrelationship between the neuromuscular, soft tissue, and articular systems. PNF I offers a dynamic and functional evaluation and treatment approach to this interrelationship based on specific analysis of motor recruitment patterns and Characteristics of Neuromuscular Function. This course progresses from specific shoulder girdle, pelvic girdle, and trunk patterns to weight bearing postures and movements. Content emphasizes the establishment of efficient motor recruitment patterns for rehabilitation of neurological and orthopedic patients and post manipulative techniques. The material in this course is directly related to current neurophysiology of muscle function and motor control.

Objectives
Develop manual skills to improve cervical, upper extremity, and trunk function with PNF scapula patterns.

Develop manual skills to improve lumbar, pelvic, and lower extremity function utilizing PNF Pelvic patterns.To train the participant to utilize manual facilitation to enhance the patient’s Proprioceptive awareness, neuromuscular response for initiation, strength, and endurance, and to facilitate motor learning.

Become proficient at using the technique Tonic Spread to effectively facilitate Automatic Core Engagement (ACE) of the trunk and interconnecting segments.To develop a comprehensive understanding of the role of PNF as an inherent component of Functional MobilizationTM and motor control rehabilitation.

Apply the principles of PNF to effectively facilitate CoreFirst™ strategies for efficient motor control in bed mobility, hook lying, sitting, and gait.

Instructor Note
The instructor advertised for the course is the intended primary instructor. Every effort is made to hold the course with the scheduled instructor. Course refunds or transfers will not be granted based on a change of instructor. Please note there may be a change of instructor(s) without prior notice.
