Hip Pain Diagnosis and Physical Therapy Management – 3 Hours

Description

Hip pain is common in people over 65, with an incidence as high as 19%. The symptoms of hip pain can often be confused with those of the lumbar spine or systemic issues. Therefore, physical therapists must perform a comprehensive examination to rule out any red-flag symptoms and make the right diagnosis. Once the diagnosis is made, clinicians should follow evidence-based guidelines to develop and implement a treatment program. In this course, “Hip Pain Diagnosis and Physical Therapy Management,” we will review hip anatomy and discuss the components of a thorough hip examination. We will also explore the most common hip conditions encountered in a physical therapy setting and the latest evidence-based interventions.

Upon completion of this course, you will be able to learn: 

• Describe the hip’s relevant anatomy, including bony structures, ligaments, muscles, and nerves.
• Perform a thorough examination of the hip, including a lumbar screening examination.
• Differentiate between various hip conditions commonly seen in a physical therapy setting.
• Initiate and implement an evidence-based treatment program for common conditions in the hip.
