Current Surgical and Rehabilitation Trends in the Advances of Joint Arthroplasty for the Hip, Knee and Shoulder-WHAT DO CLINICIANS REALLY NEED TO KNOW?
Do you want to know the latest advances in Joint Replacement Surgery?
Treatment techniques specific to the first 21 days of rehab.
Over 25 new techniques and exercises.
Do you want to know when and what activities your Joint Replacement patients can participate in?
Do you want to learn intra-active functional rehabilitation methods to address that stiff or weak Total Shoulder , Hip or Knee Replacement?
Are you ready to learn how to meet the needs of the ever increasing Joint Replacement Baby Boomer generation?
IF YOU ANSWERED YES, THEN THIS COURSE IS FOR YOU!!
The World Health Organization had coined the years 2000-2010 the “Bone and Joint Decade’’. Joint Arthroplasty doubled by the year 2020. Today the projections of joint replacement are that by the year 2030 6 million American’s will have their knee or hip replaced! The rise in joint replacement surgery coupled with advances in cutting edge surgical techniques such as Robotics and Computer Assisted Surgery (CAS) combined with less invasive procedures has allowed the Orthopedists the ability for precise alignment and sparring of tissue. The questions for us as clinicians is: Are we educationally ready to provide current and PROGRESSIVE rehabilitation for the rising joint replacement population? Joint replacement surgeries are on the rise and the patient today is quite different than the traditional patient we all learned about in school. We learned all those precautions and restrictions with the ultimate goal being to rehabilitate in order for the patient to dress, groom and perform self-care. Today the “Baby Boomer” joint replacement patient has a higher expectation out of their rehabilitation provider. Today’s “Boomers” want to use their “new and bionic” prosthesis to get down on the floor and play with the grandkids, ski and hike. Their desire to remain active has rehab implications for clinicians in all settings. Understanding modern technology and being able to confidently communicate that to the patient is extremely important in the total care of the patient.
This highly interactive seminar will provide the attendee the evidenced based knowledge to answer those often on the spot questions by our patients such as “what should I not do?” or “when can I hike or play tennis again?”. Also examined will be, surgery from traditional to cutting edge, in addition to evidenced based rehab and return to activity guidelines. This one of a kind seminar is a MUST for all clinicians who work with total joint patients.
