NEW ADVANCES IN HIP REHABILITATION
Advances in MRI and arthroscopy have enabled a much better
understanding of hip pathologies... have your differential diagnoses
and rehabilitative skills kept pace with these advances??
The hip joint is truly one of the most amazing joints in the body. It is the critical link between the
ambulating lower limbs and trunk. Its articular configuration allows almost unlimited directions of
movement and it has more muscles attaching around it than any other single joint in the body.
As critical as the hip joint is to normal human function, accurate diagnosis of hip pathology has
been difficult to obtain. However recent advances in MRI arthrography and hip arthroscopic
surgery have given the medical community an improved understanding of hip pathologies.
Unfortunately these interventions are often expensive and difficult to access.
This very practical course takes a very modern look at the structure of the hip including the
crucial role muscle balance plays in maintaining normal function. Additionally, this course
examines many of the traumatic and degenerative causes of anterior hip pain and highlights a
progressive evidenced-based conservative rehabilitation program developed over a 15 year
period by David Lindsay and colleagues at the University of Calgary Sport Medicine Centre.

Very latest
Hip
research
Learn about the different causes of anterior hip pain (AHP), including
iliopsoas syndrome, labral tears, impingement syndromes, osteo-arthritis.

Develop a clinical reasoning process along with enhanced
assessment and palpation skills to assist differential diagnosis of AHP.

Is arthroscopic surgery the answer? What are the implications
and potential pitfalls?

Develop an understanding of other non-surgical intervention
strategies including an evidence-based, physiotherapy guided, hip rehabilitation
program for AHP with a documented 80% success rate.
