The 2nd Annual Sports Medicine Symposium: The Golf and Soccer Athlete is a one-day symposium on current best practices and innovations in diagnostic and therapeutic interventions used for recreational to elite athletes throughout the life span. This course will include a review of the current literature and will highlight an interdisciplinary approach to the latest cutting-edge management strategies with a focus on specialized populations including the golfer and the soccer athlete. A combination of didactic presentations, case studies, and panel discussions will be offered from leading experts in the field. Attendees will have the opportunity to learn about evidence-based sports-specific examinations, diagnostic musculoskeletal imaging, enhance their knowledge of injection therapy techniques, and acquire the latest return-to-play and performance enhancement strategies including blood flow restriction therapy and video analysis techniques.

EDUCATIONAL OBJECTIVES

After participating in this activity, clinicians should be able to:

• Describe treatment algorithms to diagnose, manage and refer orthopedic pathologies and sports injuries. Physical therapists and athletic trainers will be able to identify and address functional implications of musculoskeletal injuries.
• Identify and address common soccer and golf injuries
• identify and treat common musculoskeletal injuries in both athletes and the occasional weekend warrior and be able to collaborate with all disciplines on the care team
• Identify and treat acute ACL injuries in the pediatric/adolescent/adult athlete
• Recognize emergency musculoskeletal injuries and triage and/or manage the plan of care from the sideline
• Describe the biomechanics of the golf swing
• Describe psychological techniques to improve sports performance
• Develop appropriate injury management strategy integrating both clinical examination findings with video analysis
•  Recall effective evidence-based blood flow restriction therapy parameters for the injured athlete

TARGETED AUDIENCE

Pediatricians, family physicians, emergency room physicians, urgent care providers, orthopedists, nurse practitioners, physician assistants, physical therapists, occupational therapists, athletic trainers, exercise physiologists, and other healthcare professionals with an interest in the management of common orthopedic sports injuries
