A Case Based Learning Experience Pediatric Sports Physical Therapy
Description
This dynamic and fun two-hour session will use case-based learning, covering a real-world, outpatient pediatric case to facilitate an active learning experience. Application of patient-centered and evidence-informed practice will be included with an emphasis on clinical reasoning and meta-cognitive processes utilizing the test retest model. The session is designed to help learners understand how to effectively obtain a thorough subjective examination that supports hypothesis development, planning of an appropriate objective examination and supportive treatment that seek to implement the hypothetico-deductive reasoning model.
For each case the mechanism of injury, the history and the initial subjective information will be presented. Attendees will then be asked to create a differential diagnosis based on this information. The presenter will then share the process for defining the diagnosis and overview for pearls and pitfalls in treating that diagnosis. 8-10 cases will be presented.
