Clinical Judgement: Making The Best Clinical Decisions – Kinetic Control (KC)

Description

Part of our Masterclass Series, this module explores and explains: where to start and where not to start, what you can fast-track and what to hold back on, how to develop appropriate strategies to use movement to influence neurogenic pain.

The main focus of this course reviews the concepts of the uncontrolled movement theory, it uses patient demonstration to highlight how movement control assessment and rehabilitation compliments other therapeutic approaches.

This course details a logical clinical reasoning approach to integrate assessment and correction of dysfunction in the articular, myofascial and neural systems.

What will I learn?

Key learning outcomes are:

• Discuss 4 key features of patient’s presentation: Tissues / Structures; Movement Impairment; Pain mechanisms; Contextual factors.
• Discuss the differences in clinical presentations of dysfunction in different tissues; articular structures; myofascial tissues; connective tissues; neural tissues.
• Understand the development of Uncontrolled Movement (UCM) and analyse the relationship between restrictions and compensations.
• Assess for and develop strategies to manage different pain mechanisms.
• Identify clinical indicators for possible presence of sensitisation & neurogenic pain and discuss management options for issues of neuro-dynamic sensitivity.
• Understand and discuss how clinical presentations determine priorities in management strategies.
• Recognise the clinical indications and discuss management options for: low threshold training of the local system as a clinical priority, low thresholds training the global system as a clinical priority. Indications for high threshold training the global system as a clinical priority.
• Develop an understanding of using outcome measures and re-assessment tools to evaluate the effectiveness of interventions to manage symptoms, dysfunction, disability and demonstrate how these tools can help to guide the rate of progression of an individual patient through their rehab programme.
