Arthrorehab – Advanced Orthopedic Rehabilitation - Shoulder

Arthrorehab is an advanced orthopaedic rehabilitation certification, a conceptual framework designed to enhance clinical outcomes through practical applications of latest scientific research in the fields of orthopaedics, arthroscopy, sports & exercise sciences, and physical therapy.

Pattern recognition, Functional diagnosis and Rehabilitation Program Design are key core competencies that an individual will acquire by completing arthrorehab courses.

Advanced orthopaedic rehabilitation concepts and techniques will be taught in detail with extensive focus on four key areas of rehabilitation, Non-Operative Management of complex injuries, Customised Post- Operative Rehabilitation that match advances in arthroscopic surgeries, Criteria Based Return to Play and Regenerative rehabilitation for joint longevity. 

Learning Objectives:  

• Understand the principles of functional diagnosis and functional demands of the upper limb joints 
• Learn current treatment pathways for injuries and pathologies of the shoulder
• Justify treatment selection and implement treatment based current evidence and patient’s activity demands 
• Learn to customize the rehabilitation based on injury characteristics, management opted and demands on the injured structure.  
• Learn recent advances in arthroscopic surgeries that can influence the rehabilitation programming and rehabilitation progression. 
• Learn to design and implement an individualised, customised and criteria-based exercise programme for wide range of injuries and surgeries. 
• Learn to apply and modify intervention strategies for wide range of patients from physically active to an international elite athlete.  
• Learn to apply and customize treatment strategies to wide range of sports, different playing positions and different sporting demands. 
• Learn rehabilitation programme designing and application of strength and conditioning principles in late-stage rehab.  
• Understand and implement injury prevention programme for secondary injury risk and recurrence.  
• Understand and manage a successful Return to play of a competitive athlete following injury or surgery
