Please join us for the Injury Prevention & Athlete Development A Continuum of Care. This 5 hour continuing education course is a mix of lecture and hands on lab. Designed with both the rehab and fitness professional in mind, you will learn how to cue patients/athletes on how to better engage their core to maximize their rehab or strength training, how to assess their movements for deficiencies, and how to utilize that for better programming. Building on their years of experience, Anna Woods, ACE-CPT and Dr. Jared Shoemaker, DC will walk you through Injury Prevention and Athlete Development: A Continuum of Care. This event will be held on Saturday April 15th, 2023 in Topeka at Petro Allied Health Center Southwest Mulvane Street, Topeka, KS, 66621 from 8:00 a.m.-1:00 p.m. This course will include 5 Category A hours, and 0.5 NSCA CEU's.

Course Objective:
Upon conclusion of this program, each participant will be able to:
Discuss how to train the core using Dynamic Neuromuscular Stability (DNS) concepts to reduce injury risk, improve strength, power, and performance.
Explain ideal lower extremity biomechanics focusing on joint centration of the foot, knee, and hip for reduction of injury risk.
Identify faulty movements that increase risk of injury and performance faults.
Explain cueing and illustrate ideal positioning in the core and lower extremity.
Outline assessment techniques to measure an athlete’s need and functional capacity.
List key tips, tools, and methods to implement basic and advanced movement concepts and patterns.
Knowledge Gap for Healthcare Professionals:
Athletic trainers, athletic performance specialists, and coaches are not always on the same page regarding injury prevention and athletic performance goals. The coordination of rehabilitation protocols, strength/conditioning programs, and sport technique development leads to reduced injuries and improved athletic performance. This presentation focuses on developing a sound team approach using best practices leading to improved athletic performance, decreased injury risk, and facilitating overall communication.
Clinical Bottom Line for Healthcare Professionals:
Athletic trainers, athletic performance specialists, and coaches all have specific roles to play in the physical development of an athlete or team. Evidence based practices demonstrate better outcomes when utilizing a team concept in injury prevention and athletic performance. Participates should become familiar with specific terms, applications, techniques, and programming elements to enhance their knowledge, clinical practice, and improve overall outcomes.
