Functional Screening & Rehab: the basics | Martin Prassé

The purpose of this module is to investigate what we can and can not use functional screening for. Based on the available research we are going to set up a framework for when and how we can use screenings of movement to guide our clinical work in rehabilitation and injury prevention. The screening process will be divided into a general screening of basic movements and a sport specific screening with the aim to help us in the decision making of when an athlete is ready to return to their sport.

During the module we will discuss when to consider manual treatment or training interventions. Furthermore, we are going to touch base on how we can test different parts of the athlete’s physiology and look at what benchmarks research already has provided us.

Of course, this module applies the necessary practical skills in order to do an effective and quick screening of movement and analyzing the findings to help in our clinical reasoning and decision making.
