Description
\nObjective testing has taken the physical medicine domain by storm, prompting clinicians to explore more deliberate testing strategies in order to better test, track, and compare client outcomes. At the core of this initiative was a graduation from subjective \u201cstrength\u201d testing, commonly seen as manual muscle testing, into more organized force testing areas, like dynamometry. While this agenda was a necessary and important component to evolve the profession, it unintentionally created a dilemma and challenge for clinicians in the field seeing clients. \u201cHow can I collect objective data using a dynamometer within my budget of time, resource, cost, and current understanding?\u201d Thus, \u201cDungeons and Dynamometers: A Force Course\u201d was created.<\/p>\n

This course is designed and organized with practitioners in mind. It will systematically build a narrative around force testing; specifically the why, how, and when one should use it. Finally, it will culminate with allocated time to practice, explore, and troubleshoot integrating force testing into practice immediately. The goal is to demystify the process and make this modality usable and pragmatic through practical cases and sandbox style lab-based learning. Improving these concepts will not only improve clients\u2019 experiences and outcomes, but it will continue to progress the profession towards more objective interventions.<\/p>\n

We hope you are as excited for this course as we are. You can count on plenty of laughs, exceptional memes, and witty puns, but we guarantee useful information and real-world skill learning. \u201cDungeons and Dynamometers: A Force Course\u201d is exactly what you were looking for. Let\u2019s have some fun.<\/p>\n

This 15.0-hour course will include lecture and lab demonstration to explore the nuances of data collection, dynamometry, set-up, execution, troubleshooting, and interpretation. The lab component will be a lab-based session intended to be sandbox-style learning and exploration with dynamometry using various cases and instructor-led objectives. This is designed to be fun, engaging, and purely practical. We know that lab practice is the good stuff, so we are making it the focal point! This content is presented in a progression that allows the learner to understand theory, improve technical expertise, and achieve the repetitions needed to improve their clinical decision-making and outcomes.<\/p>\n
