Online Learning for the Busy Clinician.
Atraumatic rotator cuff-related pain is one of the most common conditions seen by physiotherapists. The mismatch between pathology, healing, pain and function make it difficult to manage patient expectations for recovery.
This course provides an overview of current evidence and highlights key points to help the busy clinician understand the most important clinical concepts relating to pathoaetiology, differential diagnosis and rehabilitation of atraumatic rotator cuff-related pain to help you become confident in managing patient expectations and providing effective rehabilitation.

Understand why patient expectations is so important in managing rotator cuff-related pain.
Discuss epidemiology, risk factors, pathoaetiology and natural history of atraumatic rotator cuff tears.
Use clinical examination tests and x-ray and ultrasound imaging (where indicated) to make a differential diagnosis of RCRP.
Confidently manage care for people with RCRP according to Primary Care Clinical Pathways.
Discuss the role and use of corticosteroid injections in RCRP including indications, risks, benefits and expected effects.
