Objectives of the Course


To learn clinical skills, which are simple to learn and easy to implement in
various musculoskeletal and neuromuscular conditions.
To learn to innovate and develop rehabilitation programmes which are based
on evidenceand research.
The Course Outline is As Follows:
Functional Exercise Progression System
•
•
•
A systematic, criterion-based progression with
physiologic & anatomical, biomechanical, and
neurological considerations of exercise
Thinking Functionally:
Functional Exercise Prescriptions should consider:
– Proper proprioceptive input
– Proximal Reflexive Stability
– Posture & Muscle Balance
– Patterns of Movement & Breathing
– Progressive challenge to systems
– Patient-specific goals
Scientific & Clinical Application In
–
–
–
Elastic Resistance Training
Exercise Ball Training
Balance and Proprioceptive Training
Elastic Resistance Training
•
•
To understand the biomechanical principles of elastic
resistance and the relevance to patient positioning
To demonstrate appropriate exercises using elastic
resistance for muscular impairments of the upper
body, lower body, and spine
•
•
•
To describe and demonstrate other clinical
applications of elastic resistance for specific
impairments or limitations
To review the clinical outcome research of elastic
resistance training
To describe the advantages, disadvantages and
safety of elastic resistance
Exercise Ball Training
•
•
•
•
•
Describe the uses of exercise ball training
Appropriately prescribe & progress specific exercises
on the exercise ball
Integrate the exercise ball into a Functional Exercise
Progression
Review the EMG and clinical outcomes research on
exercise ball training
Describe the advantages, disadvantages &
precautions of exercise ball training
Balance and Proprioceptive Training
•
•
Review the neurophysiologic basis and research on
proprioceptive and stabilization training
Describe the advantages, disadvantages &
precautions of stabilization training
Integration of concepts of Bands, Balls and Proprioception to Train
and Treat
•
•
•
We integrate the above approaches for joint specific, sports specific or
condition specific rehabilitation.
We conduct specific programmes for the older adults to improve their
strength, flexibility and balance. The programmes have been designed
keeping the requirements of the Indian older adult in mind. At a clinical level
the programme has been very successful indicating a clinical difference in pre
and post training scores.
The complex rehabilitation for the upper quadrant dysfunction can be
beautifully designed with bands and balls. Ranging from acute tendonitis to
chronic adhesive capsulitis, muscle dysfunction of the core muscles to
movement disorders - the exercise progression system restores
neuromuscular control and function.
Information to Participants


For students (MPT, BPT final year and interns) the workshop duration should
be ideally for two days to develop a clear understanding of concepts and for
adequate practice. For academicians/ clinicians the workshop can be
conducted in one day. All participants will be provided with one red elastic
band and a CD of the course material.
All participants are requested to wear comfortable loose clothing to facilitate
the practice.
