Total joint arthroplasty, as a treatment strategy for arthritis, has improved the lives of millions of patients. The role of Physical Therapy, however, has adapted to the speed at which patients improve function. The field has evolved due to the advancement of surgical techniques, components, and pain management.
This course helps to educate clinicians on the multidisciplinary role over the entire care continuum. We evaluate, discuss, and develop care strategies for patients living with older joint implants, patients preparing for surgery and postoperative joint arthroplasty in the world of rapid recovery. We will integrate a combination of lectures, case studies, interactive participation, and videos into a comprehensive educational experience.
By examining the procedures of the hip, knee and shoulder, clinicians will explore patient pathologies, understanding the role of pharmacology, the role of education and the rehabilitation role in the interdisciplinary treatment team. Participants will learn a variety of treatment ideas and outcome tools to improve existing protocols.
