Sport SIG Event - Nov. 10: The Athlete Movement Systems: The Lower Quarter and Spine When: Saturday, November 10 from 8:00 am - 5:00 pm Where: Regis University, 3333 Regis Blvd, Denver, CO 80221 in Claver Hall - Room 409 - Physical Therapy Lab Speaker: Jared Vagy PT, DPT, OCS, CSCS Dr. Jared Vagy received his Doctorate in Physical Therapy (DPT) from the University of Southern California (USC). As a Doctor of Physical Therapy in clinical practice, he completed a one-year residency program and became a Board Certified Orthopedic Specialist. He then completed an additional one-year fellowship program in Movement Science at Kaiser Permanente Hospital. Course Description: This course teaches you how to use the movement system to assess, diagnose and treat athlete movement dysfunction. The material is highly interactive with an emphasis on the practical application of principles covered in the course. Concepts utilized in the course include closed kinetic chain muscle testing, dynamometry, speed of force generation, anatomical slings, neuromuscular chains, dual vectors, and reflexive activation. At the conclusion the course, you will have a greater understanding of how to integrate movement based assessments into sport-specific treatments. Course Objectives: ● Learn the biomechanics and sports specific demands on the lower quarter and spine in sport. ● Understand the importance of regional interdependence of the lower quarter and spine with its functional relationship to pathobiomechanics ● Demonstrate and select appropriate movement assessments and treatments for the lower quarter and spine for athletes ● Provide interventions based on faulty movement patterns observed relating to the key impairments obtained from the objective examination. ● Learn current research supporting movement and sport specific assessments and treatments.
