This course is based on Chapter 29 from Orthopaedic Physical Therapy by Robert A. Donatelli and Michael J. Wooden (4th Edition). The work by Richard Ekstrom and Roy W. Osborn gives detailed descriptions of EMG evidence for a wide variety of exercises, discusses their relevance to orthopedic practice, and explains their use in the clinic. This course is a must for any clinician who wants to understand guidelines for exercise prescription, in order to more effectively plan an exercise program. Learn how specific exercises may affect the patients you treat. If you have ever wondered what the evidence says about how you can be most effective in prescribing exercises for the trunk, shoulder, hip and knee, this course is for you.
