4th Edition

Orthopaedic Section Independent Study CourseThe Orthopaedic Section, APTA, Inc. offers an excellent con-tinuing education experience through its Independent Study Course series. Since 1991 we have been providing clinicians, faculty, and students with a wide variety of contemporary pro-fessional topics. Each course includes comprehensive cov-erage of a select topic area. All authors are experts in their respective fi elds.

In 2001 we assessed and compiled the Orthopaedic Section’s fi rst comprehensive reference on practice within our specialty, titled Current Concepts of Orthopaedic Physical Therapy. Since our fi rst publication in 2001, advances in the fi eld of ortho-paedics and the expansion of evidence for the effectiveness of physical therapy interventions continue. We last provided an update to this series in 2011. We are pleased to now offer the 4th edition of Current Concepts of Orthopaedic Physical Therapy as a hard copy or online at the Orthoapedic Section’s publishing platform at http://orthoptlearn.org.

Each monograph in the 12-volume series require an average 8 hours per monograph to complete. Course registrants may re-ceive course materials by mail or through online access. The fi -nal examination continues to be offered online. To receive con-tinuing education credit, we recommend registrants complete the online examination within 1 year, and must score 70% or higher on the 48-question multiple-choice examination. Regis-trants who successfully complete the examination online will be able to print a certifi cate of completion recognizing the con-tact hours earned. Only the person registering for the course may obtain the contact hours.

Course DescriptionThis 4th edition work presents a thorough review of anatomy and biomechanics of each body region, application of specif-ic tests and measurements, musculoskeletal pathology, and effective treatment strategies. Our previously used authors continue to share evidence-based techniques in orthopaedic physical therapy evaluation, assessment, and intervention. The fi rst monograph describes the multifaceted process of clinical reasoning and utilization of evidence-based practice physical therapy management. The remaining monographs each cover a major joint region of the body, from the cervical spine and tem-poromandibular joint to the foot and ankle. Each monograph concludes with case scenarios that require clinical problem solving and allows readers to compare their answers with the experts’ rationale. Take advantage of this convenient and chal-lenging opportunity to enhance your background and sharpen your reasoning skills.
