Access 12 months | A comprehensive, evidence-informed course covering anatomy, pathomechanics, diagnosis and management of pelvic-girdle and SIJ pain.
A comprehensive, evidence-informed course covering anatomy, pathomechanics, diagnosis and management of pelvic-girdle and SIJ pain.
Completion of Back Pain 100 and 200 courses are strongly recommended prior to taking this course. Back Pain 300 and BP301 are also recommended as pre-requisites.
About this course:
For the first time this self-paced, online course provides a comprehensive review of anatomy, pathomechanics, diagnosis and treatment options for pelvic girdle and sacroiliac joint pain.
Learn the distinction between pelvic girdle pain, sacroiliac joint pain, and sacroiliac joint dysfunction and explore the evidence for diagnosis and treatment.
The clinical reasoning process from patient history and physical examination through to diagnosis of sacroiliac joint pain is covered in detail and you will improve your clinical reasoning skills by learning to link your assessment findings with treatment techniques with the support of easy-to-follow decision trees (algorithms).
As with all Mark Laslett courses, the focus is on the patient, and you get the opportunity to explore his interaction with patients through the extensive video taken during clinical assessment of patients with sacroiliac joint pain. The case study videos are fully annotated with extensive use of subtitles to assist in understanding dialogue.
Who is this course suitable for?
This course is suitable for physiotherapists with experience in diagnosis and management of low back pain, especially for those interested in advanced practice roles.
Course content:
There are five chapters of the course:
Chapter 1: Anatomy and Biomechanics of the pelvic girdle and sacroiliac joints
Chapter 2: SIJ Dysfunction. SIJ tests validity & reliability
Chapter 3: Diagnosis of Pelvic Girdle and Sacroiliac Joint Pain
Chapter 4: Case Studies
Chapter 5: Treatment of Pelvic Girdle and Sacroiliac Joint Pain
Learning Outcomes:
By the end of this course you will be able to:
- Describe anatomy and pathomechanics of the pelvic girdle and SIJ
- Discuss the validity and reliability of tests used in the diagnosis of pelvic girdle and SIJ pain and interpret the results in the clinical context.
- Make a differential diagnosis of pelvic girdle and SIJ pain
- Apply appropriate and evidence-informed treatment for people with pelvic girdle and SIJ pain.
At the end of the course there is a lesson on what research project and themes Mark Laslett believes is necessary to improve on the evidence base, and to fill in large gaps that exist.
