PT/PTA Faculty Webinar: How to Build apps for Deep Learning in Physical Therapy Education

Curious about how to build apps? Why should you or should not do it?
Have ideas about apps that need to be built?

Join Dr. Michael Wong, Founder of PhysioU and Associate Professor, in a short webinar discussing, "How to Build apps for Deep Learning in Physical Therapy Education"

1. Shift in consumer behavior to Mobile computing

2. Shark tank style 6 questions to ask yourself about building apps

3. Who is your target population self study results

4. App building conceptual frame work

5. The problem: Case Example of Orthopaedics Class and App development

Ankle Sprains Part I: Causes, Symptoms, and Phase 1 of Rehab

Football player and Cross Country runner with grade III ankle sprains

The infamous ankle sprain!  In general, ankle injuries make up about 17% of all running injuries, half of these account for lateral ankle sprains. For the most part a large number of people experience them, and aside from icing and resting the first few days, many of your future patients will not know what to expect or do.

This Part 1 post will help provide some acute guidance on what an ankle sprain is, its different categories, symptoms, and phase 1 of rehab.

APTA CSM 2018: Motor Control Training for the Upper Quarter Athlete

Shoulder muscle dysfunction is often reported in the literature related to common upper quarter pathologies. It is well established that “Motor changes in the presence of pain and /or injury present across a spectrum from subtle changes in sharing of load between synergist muscles to a complete avoidance of movement.”

During motor coordination retraining, consider the following paradigm as a way to organize and progress your movement retraining.

1.     Activation or facilitation of established muscle impairments

 

2.     Exercises that increase middle and lower trapezius activity: Add external rotation component to exercise

3.     To improve Serratus anterior activation with less pectoralis minor activation

4.     For functional serratus anterior activation

 

5.     To decrease upper trapezius activity while increasing MT/LT activity

 

6.     Decrease pectoralis minor activity- Avoid closed chain or use open chain elevation with external rotation resistance

7.     Optimal exercise for restoring intramuscular trapezius muscle balance: UT/LT

8.     Optimal exercise for restoring intramuscular trapezius muscle balance: UT/MT

9.     Decrease levator scapulae activity

1.     Scapula control

 

2.     Humeral horizontal abduction with scapular control

 

3.     Increasing elevation with scapular control
