Applied Evidence to Clinical Practice: Lateral Elbow Tendinopathy (lab)
About this Event
Applied Evidence to Clinical Practice: Management of Lateral Elbow Tendinopathy
This listing is part of a hybrid course. To attend the workshop, attendance at the online lecture is a pre-requisite (https://www.eventbrite.ca/e/evidence-based-management-of-lateral-elbow-tendinopathy-virtual-lecture-tickets-1991398208649?aff=oddtdtcreator). Registration for both components is available here.
Elbow pain often presents a diagnostic dilemma. Intra-articular pathologies, local soft tissues and neural structures may be primary sources of nociception, with psychosocial and environmental factors contributing to symptom severity and chronicity. Understanding the contribution of local tissue pathology, and sensory and motor system impairments to the individual's clinical presentation of elbow pain will assist clinicians in implementing an effective treatment program. The aim of this course is to provide clinicians with an opportunity to improve their knowledge and skills relevant to client-centred assessment and treatment of common lateral elbow conditions. This course will comprehensively review the underlying mechanisms and pathophysiology, differential diagnosis, assessment and management of elbow disorders that present as lateral elbow pain. This course is suitable for clinicians with clinical experience in musculoskeletal and sports injuries, interested in updating their knowledge and improving their skills in the management of elbow injuries. It is designed to give clinicians applied knowledge of the latest evidence regarding individualising treatment for people with chronic elbow injuries and will present a contemporary, evidence-based clinical pathway for treatment of elbow pain, and discuss treatment options based on clinical presentation, prognostic indicators and underlying pathophysiology.
Specific Aims
At the completion of this course, participants will:
1. Understand important anatomical and biomechanical relationships with elbow function and mechanisms of injury
2. Demonstrate applied knowledge of the latest evidence regarding aetiology, differential diagnoses, and predictors of recovery in people with lateral elbow pain
3. Perform skilled assessment techniques relevant to intra-articular pathology, instability, tendinopathy and peripheral nerve entrapment at the elbow
4. Apply the evidence to clinical reasoning for the management of elbow injuries (conservative, injection, surgical)
5. Demonstrate refined manual therapy, neurodynamic and exercise prescription skills for the assessment and management of elbow injuries.
Workshop Overview: Exercise is the foundation for management of tendinopathies, as it has the capacity to stimulate biochemical processes through mechanical tendon loading that lead to tendon healing and repair. In addition, exercise has demonstrated other benefits such as analgesia and improved general physical and mental health. Yet the evidence only shows small incremental benefits for exercise compared to other interventions, with no one type of exercise superior to another. Furthermore, painful exercise may reduce an individual's adherence to the rehabilitation program. In this workshop we will focus on evidence-based exercise prescription for elbow tendinopathy. We will incorporate research evidence, tendon biology, exercise mechanisms, and patient-specific factors into the assessment and design of an exercise program for people with elbow tendinopathy.
This will be a highly interactive session that will include case studies in a discussion-based format.
