Clinical examination of the musculoskeletal system

Module: Medical Exercise Therapy

description:

Medical Exercise Therapy (MTT) is a comprehensive and in-depth module that gives you the skills to help patients come back stronger than ever after injuries and surgeries. Through a structured and research-based program, you will learn to guide patients and athletes through the different phases of rehabilitation. From demand analysis and capacity analysis to objective measurements and accurate dosage of exercises, you will develop into an expert in rehabilitation and medical exercise.

Learning objectives:

Understanding the MTT concept:

•    Basic understanding of medical exercise therapy and its role in rehabilitation.
•    How to develop individualized exercise programs based on the patient’s medical and physical condition.
•    Identify and understand the principles behind the four phases of rehabilitation.

Injury and professional understanding:

•    Understand the most common injuries and surgeries within the musculoskeletal system.
•    Develop a deeper understanding of the healing process following injuries and surgeries.
•    Learn the specific protocols for different types of injuries and surgeries.

Protocols and phases:

•    Review of the four phases of rehabilitation: Acute Phase, Consolidation Phase, Reconstruction Phase, and Functional Phase.
•    Learn how to implement and adapt rehabilitation protocols for different injuries and surgical procedures.
•    Create progression plans to take the patient from one phase to the next.

Return to Sports:

•    Develop skills to conduct thorough demands and capacity analyses of athletes.
•    Learn to design training programs that prepare athletes to return to sport at a stronger level.
•    Objective measurements to evaluate patient readiness and identify any risks.

Objective measurements and mapping:

•    Perform thorough functional testing to establish the patient’s baseline.
•    Use techniques to objectively assess muscle strength, endurance, mobility, and stability.
•    Implement measurable outcomes to monitor progress and adjust the training program as needed.

Dosage and manipulation of exercises:

•    Accurately dose exercises according to the patient’s condition and rehabilitation phase.
•    Learn to manipulate variables such as intensity, volume, and frequency to optimize results.
•    Implement techniques such as progression modification and regression to customize training for each patient.

Selection of exercises:

•    Explore a wide range of exercises adapted to different injuries and phases of rehabilitation.
•    Learn techniques for manipulating exercises to improve targeted muscle activation.
•    Design exercises that balance strength, mobility, and function.

•    Gain in-depth knowledge of how to optimize the rehabilitation process for patients and athletes.
•    Become an expert in guiding patients through all phases of rehabilitation, from injury to return to sport.
•    Learn to use objective measurements and accurate dosing to achieve the best possible results for your patients.
•    Explore a comprehensive range of exercises and techniques that will make you a sought-after therapist.
•    With this module, you will not only develop skills in medical exercise therapy, but also the ability to make a significant and positive impact on the lives of your patients.
