Course Description:

The Lumbopelvic Hip course is designed to give the clinician a framework for assessment and treatment of this region considering regional interdependence of the upper quarter, lower quarter, and thorax based on current best practice guidelines. An emphasis will be placed on identifying potential barriers and facilitators of the lumbopelvic hip complex, utilizing an illness script approach to determine potential red, yellow, and green flags.  Additional learnings include differentiating pain sources, understanding Panjabi's neutral zone concept, and assessment of core stabilization. Treatment interventions will include strength and conditioning guidelines for power, core, and assistive exercises specific to the patient's meaningful activities in open and closed kinematic chain tasks with static and dynamic double and single limb considerations.
