Science of Running Medicine Symposium

Date & Location:

April 1 – 2, 2017 at Grandview Medical Center
3690 Grandview Parkway, Birmingham, AL 35243

Registration Closed

Description:

This evidence-based symposium will bring together top clinical researchers in the field of biomechanics to discuss and debate contemporary topics related to running biomechanics, running-related injuries, and the rehabilitation of the injured runner. The use of video analysis as part of the running gait examination will be emphasized, and novel strategies to modify running mechanics will be presented as part of a comprehensive approach to treatment. Multiple case studies will be integrated to illustrate concepts and promote idea application. Participants will be provided with practical information to “take back” to the clinic for immediate use in managing the injured runner.

Target Audience:

Physical therapists, athletic trainers, physicians, chiropractors, physician assistants, occupational therapists, physical therapist assistants, occupational therapist assistants. This course content is not intended for use by any participants outside the scope of their license or regulation.

Course Objectives:

Upon completion of this course, participants will be able to:

• Describe the biomechanics of running
• Conduct a basic running evaluation using video methods
• Integrate findings from the physical examination and video analysis to determine appropriate injury management
• Recommend specific rehabilitation exercises to target impairments of common running-related injuries
• Recommend effective strategies to modify the running form and determine when it is appropriate to do so as part of the rehabilitation plan

The Science of Running Medicine course is designed by and for physical therapists and physical therapist assistants. It is also an excellent course for athletic trainers and other health professionals, such as physicians, chiropractors and strength and conditioning coaches, who work with the running population.

Science of Running Medicine (BOC AP#: P8848) is approved by the Board of Certification, Inc. to provide continuing education to Athletic Trainers. This program is eligible for a maximum of 14.25 Category A hours/CEUs.
