Description
8 Contact Hours 0.8 CEUs The hip joint complex can be an enigma! it’s a proximal joint that shows up to the clinic with some vague symptom’s presentation. Loading, for example, can play an important role in how different conditions can affect, in different ways, the patient’s clinical presentation. Dr. Jean-Michel Brismèe and Dr. Phil Sizer help participants to understand the differential diagnosis and specific treatment for common hip joint musculoskeletal conditions. The IAOM-US Diagnosis and Management of the Hip and Pubic Symphysis online course takes an in-depth look at primary and secondary pathoanatomy, biomechanics, basic and specific clinical examination and interpretation, management suggestions and specific approaches to diagnose and treat hip and pelvic related disorders. Target Audience: PT, PTA, AT Educational Level: Basic
