PHYSICAL REHABILITATION OF THE HIP:

INTEGRATING STRUCTURE, FUNCTION, AND TREATMENT

Friday/Saturday December 4-5, 2009

Marquette University Campus

Milwaukee, WI

Speakers

Andrew Starsky, BSEE, MPT, PhD

Course Description:

The hip has often been a neglected joint in terms of rehabilitation and surgical techniques. This course will examine the anatomy, kinesiology, pathology, surgical intervention, evaluation, and treatment of various hip injuries. Specific cutting edge surgical techniques and the associated rehabilitation protocols will be examined in detail. In particular, exciting new procedures in hip arthroscopy and hip abductor repair will be discussed. Case studies and treatment ideas will be presented in this clinically based course.

On the first day, Dr. Donald Neumann (author of Kinesiology of the Musculoskeletal System: Foundations for Physical Rehabilitation) will present an overview of the anatomy and kinesiology of the hip joint. The presentation will be lecture format, enhanced by over 100 original kinesiologic illustrations. Each illustration clearly describes the anatomic and mechanical basis for movement, providing the basis for understanding the foundations for many evaluations and treatments experienced in clinics.

On the second day, Dr. Andrew Starsky will applythe structure and function information to the evaluation and treatment of various hip injuries.

Instructional level: Intermediate

Course Objectives: After the course, participants shall be able to:

1. Cite the major muscle drive for all motions of the hip, from both an open and closed-chain perspective.
2. Understand the role of the ligaments and capsule of the hip in providing stability to the joint.
3. Relate movements at the hip to natural movements at the lumbar spine.
4. Describe the kinesiologic synergies that exist between the muscles of the hip and trunk, and how they provide normal motion.
5. Understand the role of the hip abductor muscles in generating forces and stability at the hip.
6. Understand the biomechanical reasoning behind principles of “hip joint protection”.
7. Utilize kinesiological principles to guide evaluation and treatment choices musculoskeletal conditions of the hip joint.
8. Discuss the pathology of selected hip conditions.
9. Discuss surgical interventions for selected hip pathology.
10. Design rehabilitation programs for selected hip pathology.

About the Presenters

Donald A. Neumann, PT, PhD, FAPTA, received a B.S. degree in physical therapy from the University of Florida, and a Ph.D. in Exercise Science from the University of Iowa. Don joined the faculty at Marquette University in 1986, where he is currently a Professor in the Physical Therapy Department. In 1994, Dr. Neumann received the “Teacher of the Year Award" at Marquette University; in 2006, he was named by the Carnegie Foundation as Wisconsin’s College Professor of the Year. Dr. Neumann has also received numerous top national awards from the American Physical Therapy Association, which recognizes his research, teaching, and other scholarly activity. Dr. Neumann’s research and teaching projects have been funded by the National Arthritis Foundation and, more recently, the Paralyzed Veterans of America. Don’s teachings are based on years of clinical experience combined with extensive knowledge of anatomy and kinesiology. He is the author of Kinesiology of the Musculoskeletal System: Foundations for Physical Rehabilitation, published by Elsevier (2002). Don is Associate Editor of the Journal of Orthopaedic and Sports Physical Therapy. Don has received three Fulbright Scholarships to teach kinesiology in Kaunas Medical University in Lithuania (2002), in Semmelweis Medical University in Budapest, Hungary (2005, 2006), and in Matsumoto, Japan (2009, 2010).  In 2008, Dr. Neumann was awarded a Catherine Worthingham Fellow of the APTA.

Andrew Starsky, BSEE, MPT, PhD obtained his bachelor’s degree in electrical engineering from Marquette University in 1992. He completed his Masters in Physical Therapy degree in 1998, and a PhD in Biomedical Engineering in 2007. He has been published in Physical Therapy, the Journal of Orthopedic and Sports Physical Therapy, and in Archives of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation. Andy is currently a Clinical Assistant Professor at Marquette University, teaching courses in electrotherapy, physical modalities, evidence based practice, and biomechanics. He has been teaching electrotherapy and biomechanics for 10 years and has traveled extensively to lecture on this topic. Andy has received research grants from the National Institute of Health, the American Heart Association, and the National Institute on Disability and Rehabilitation
