Topic: Shoulder Clinical Practice Guidelines: A Presentation of the Evidence

Speaker: Michael O'Hara, PT, DPT, OCS | Assistant Professor of Instruction | College of Public Health - Temple University

This presentation will focus on three primary concepts—differential diagnosis and screening procedures for shoulder disorders, examinations and treatment paradigms for shoulder pathology, and literature guiding physical therapy management. Lecture content will supplement the learning experience of attendees via case discussion, clinical decision making algorithms, and contemporary literature pertaining to multimodal management strategies. A biopsychosocial approach will be considered for management of rotator cuff-related shoulder pain, adhesive capsulitis, glenohumeral instability, and post-operative populations.
