Course Description

This course will serve as a foundational introduction, or 20,000-foot view, to the world of the tactical athlete, focused rehabilitation and return to duty/injury screening. Each section will have certain “deep dives” into a topic area that serves to increase knowledge, exposure, and interest.

• Describe the composition and missions of the tactical athletes during a mock interview
• Identify how external loads and working environments can elevate the risk of injury to the tactical athlete during a mock interview
• Classify injured tactical athletes into the rehabilitation continuum using a patient case
• Evaluate motor control deficits of the tactical athlete using a patient case
• Integrate performance enhancement, exercise science, and Sympathetic Nervous System Suppression Training into the rehabilitation of the tactical athlete with a presentation
• Recognize the potential long-term MSK risks of the career tactical athlete using a patient case
• Integrate Return to Duty (RTD) testing into the tactical athlete’s rehabilitation within the prescribed rehabilitation continuum using a patient case
• Distinguish the different MSK and psychological deficits that can be identified with RTD testing using a patient case
• Construct and interpret the results of an injury screening protocol for a tactical athlete population using sample data.
