Week 6 – SLAP Lesions

Mike Reinold — Thu, 23 Dec 2010 13:50:56 +0000

Wow, only 2 more weeks left! This week’s topic involves lesions to the superior glenoid labrum, or SLAP lesions. This topic actually goes well following the instability chapter, as these injuries are related and involved the labrum and shoulder instability. SLAPs have unique enough mechanisms of injury and treatment strategies that this deserves it’s own [...]

Week 3 – Scientific and Clinical Rationale Behind Shoulder Exercise

Week 1 – Introduction

Mike Reinold — Thu, 23 Dec 2010 05:04:46 +0000

Hello and welcome to the introductory week of the program. This will be the typical format for each week’s information. Take this week to get comfortable with the website and format of the program. Note the many important links in the right side bar and the top navigation bar.
Begin by viewing the instructions page to get a better understanding of the website. You can also review information about the course and preview the complete weekly schedule. Each lesson will run from Thursday to Wednesday. Each Thursday morning a new lesson will be posted to view. If possible, try to go through the assignments and join the discussion board by the end of the weekend. This will allow more time to interact and discuss for the rest of the week and allow the group to move on to the next lesson.

Reading Assignments

This week’s activities are not part of the main curriculum but an important part of understanding evidence based practice. Again, the purpose of this first week is to get comfortable with the website and format prior to beginning the formal program. While you get comfortable, I thought this would be a good time to introduce some topics related to evidence based practice if you need a refresher.

Presentation

Before we get into some of the details of evidence based practice, I have prepared a brief presentation on some of my thoughts regarding evidence based practice and how we can assure that we use it appropriately:

The next item is a nice presentation from the Emory School of Medicine posted by Dr. Victor Castilla from the blog Web 2.0 and Medicine:
