More specifically, patients with musculoskeletal disorders of the lumbar, cervical, shoulder, and knee regions are amongst the most referral patients to physiotherapy clinics. The second purpose is to provide a comprehensive treatment program based on the manual therapy techniques to alleviate movement impairments and practice them on the patients. Complete Description Musculoskeletal disorders can have a major effect on functional mobility, medical costs, and quality of life of patients suffering from a broad spectrum of orthopedic conditions. Low back pain, cervical joint dysfunctions, shoulder disorders and knee injuries are the most common musculoskeletal complaints observed in physiotherapy clinics. Recently, diagnosis and treatment based on the movement system impairments constitute a fundamental role in management of patients seeking physiotherapy services and those who discover prevention of recurrency and chronicity in these common disorders. Moreover, based on the Sullivan’s approach, intervention based on four stages of motor control, i.e. mobility, stability, controlled mobility, and skill would help the patients for symptom reduction, joint stability, return to activity level before injury, and safe participation in social roles, respectively. Therefore, in the first section of this short course, we will educate the participants how to diagnose different movement impairments in different regions of the musculoskeltal systems. In the second section, we will practice the appropriate mobilization, manipulation, and muscle energy techniques that should be implemented for improving the mobility in specific movement impairment syndromes. Also, the appropriate stabilization and coordination exercises that should be prescribed for safe return to pre-injury daily and sports activities will be provided. Finally, we will practice this method of evaluation and treatment on different patients as case reports and evaluate the outcomes post-intervention. A) Evaluation of common movement impairment syndromes 1. Terminology, definition and concepts about movement system impairments. 2. New models of musculoskeltal evaluation and treatment: Pathokinesiologic versus kinesiopathologic models Program Detail 3. Common signs, symptoms and special tests of pathologies related to lumbar spine (disc herniation, lumbar instability, canal stenosis), cervical spine (disc herniation, osteoarthritis, facet joint locking), shoulder complex (impingement syndrome, rotator cuff injuries, shoulder instability), and knee complex (patellofemoral pain syndromes, ligament injuries, meniscal injuries). 4. Common findings of movement impairment syndromes related to lumbar and cervical spines (extension-rotation and flexion-rotation syndromes), shoulder complex (anterior-superior glide syndromes and scapular downward rotation syndrome), and knee region (patellar superior-lateral glide syndrome and tibiofemoral rotations syndromes). B) Treatment of common movement impairment syndromes 1. Specific mobilization, manipulation, and muscle energy techniques and specific stretching exercises prescribed to improve joint mobility in different movement impairment syndromes. 2. Specific strength, endurance and coordination training exercises prescribed to improve joint stability in different movement impairment syndromes. 3. Proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation techniques including specific closed kinetic chain exercise and proprioceptive training exercises provided to improve controlled mobility of the segments in different movement impairment syndromes. 4. Specific daily and sport-specific exercises including balance training, plyometric exercises and agility training for safe return to social activity level before injury. C) Methods of education 1. Lectures 2. Questions and answers 3. Practical sessions on models 4. Practical training on patients D) Training period: 2 months of theoretical and practical training sessions
