Principles of Dance Medicine: Clinical Management of the Dancer Patient
July 12-15, 2012E
Accreditation & CEU Information
The Principles of Dance Medicine: Clinical Management of the Dancer Patient continuing medical education (CME) course is designed to teach healthcare practitioners about the unique risk factors associated with dance training and provide them with up-to-date and innovative treatment plans for the dancer-patient. Studies indicate that 80 percent of dancers will experience a major disability during their career and that 95 percent will experience repetitive stress injuries. This course will provide healthcare professionals with evidence-based research about numerous intrinsic and extrinsic factors associated with injury. Further, it will disclose the best-known means of reducing injury occurrence and severity, and teach the skills necessary for dance medicine professionals to improve health outcomes among their dancer patients. Our course will update practitioners about the latest research findings relevant to them in such areas as screening, nutrition, ergonomics, biomechanics, injury prevention and rehabilitation.
Dance educators, somatic practitioners and dance scientists are also welcome to register for the first day of the course (Thursday). The presentations on this day are intended to build a stronger bridge between the education and healthcare of the dancer.
Plenary Lecture Series:
A lecture series will serve as a foundation to the lab sessions offered throughout the course.
Lab Sessions:
Laboratory courses are designed to provide an in-depth exploration of key factors associated with the occurrence of dance injuries. Laboratory sessions will emphasize manual interventions, neuromuscular re-education, and dance specific rehabilitation progressions. Lab attire is recommended.
