Over the past several years, youth athletic programs have undergone an unprecedented transformation in the manner and intensity in which adolescent athletes train and compete. In many youth sports, a “professional” model of training has been adopted without consideration of the potentially deleterious effect on the immature musculoskeletal system. The increased physical demands placed on today’s youth athlete have led to the creation of many new challenges for healthcare providers. The greatest of all these challenges is the increased pressure from parents and coaches to return athletes back to the field under more stringent timelines. As youth injury athletic experts, it is imperative that we are able to quickly identify the root biomechanical causes of their injuries and establish testing procedures to ensure these youth are indeed ready to return to competition.
Become the true “youth injury expert” in your local market by learning how to identify the key biomechanical deficiencies that lead to injury and the “missing links” in your rehabilitation program that are adversely affecting your functional outcomes. For instance, is gluteus strengthening a primary focus with your patient who has “Little Leaguer’s Elbow”… if not, you may be missing the key to their recovery! Are you taking advantage of the technology at your fingertips in your tablet and free “apps” to perform biomechanical video analyses in your clinic? What are the necessary components for an effective injury prevention program? By the conclusion of this course, you will be equipped with the knowledge to more effectively manage the injured athlete, develop injury preventative programs, and serve as the educational “expert” for parents and coaches.
