Advanced Functional Rehab
Advancing your capacity to provide corrective rehab exercises
for ongoing and progressive recovery for your patients
AFR Course
When pain and injury arises there are multiple elements at play. Optimal rehabilitation requires the ability to address underlying deficits in movement potential to allow for comprehensive recovery.
Secondary to that, the accurate prescription of load, intensity and progression will be a necessity to have your patients recover from their pain problems and injuries.
The Advanced Functional Rehab (AFR) course helps guided you through step by step introduction of rehabilitation and corrective exercises to complete your treatment plans with your patients. All the while teaching principles to joint functioning, appropriate loading and progression of specific exercises.
Intent of AFR Course
Detailed education of the functional anatomy of each joint in the body
Possible presenting injuries and presenting dysfunctions
Progressive corrective exercises to be implemented with proper execution
Understanding of the triphasic behaviour of movement and importance of each phase and appropriate inclusion
Difference in behaviour on motor tissues of open-kinetic chain and closed-kinetic chain exercises and appropriate inclusion.
Upper Extremity
The Upper Extremity AFR will cover the functional anatomy, motor behaviour and mechanics of the wrist, elbow, shoulder complex, thoracic spine and cervical spine.
Following a detailed understanding of the functional capacity of the above areas, each student will then be guided through the execution of the corrective exercises appropriate for each stage of rehabilitation.
Lower Extremity
The Lower Extremity AFR will cover the functional anatomy, motor behaviour and mechanics of the ankle (subtalar, talo-crural joints, mid-foot joints), knee, hip and lumbo-pelvic complex.
Following a detailed understanding of the functional capacity of the above areas, each student will then be guided through the execution of the corrective exercises appropriate for each stage of rehabilitation.
WHAT'S INCLUDED
All course material, including lecture slides and various exercise selections with cue's and proper execution. As well various research papers on topics covered.
