In order to become a productive member of a sports medicine team, the sports physical therapist needs to be versed in many facets of athlete care. EIM’s evidence-based Sports Competencies course will cover many of these facets, including: preventive and supportive taping, pre-participation screenings, functional movement screenings including corrective exercise prescription, evaluation, instruction and treatment of athletic movement, late-phase ACL rehabilitation, and injury prevention programs.
Course Objectives/Outcomes
- Utilize information from self-report measures, history, and pre-participation musculoskeletal screenings to guide evidence-based decision making and recommendations to a team physician regarding sports participation and/or need for rehabilitation.
- Implement a clinical examination for functional movement utilizing evidence-based assessment tools.
- Analyze athletic movement across different athletic populations to assess and mitigate the risk of injury.
- Examine findings from a clinical examination and an evaluation of athletic movement to prescribe targeted exercises and injury prevention strategies.
- Select and demonstrate neuromuscular training, therapeutic exercise, and manual therapy interventions based on current best evidence for the rehabilitation of the physically active individual.
- Demonstrate a clinical examination of an individual with a concussion and differentiate between the various clinical profiles based on clinical findings.
- Identify the appropriate context for taping and bracing and be able to implement taping techniques with athletic populations.

I LOVED this course. I highly and strongly recommend this class to improve your ability to analyze return to sport, treat concussions, improve comfortability with outcome measure testing, and injury prevention programs with athletes. I have already started utilizing the injury prevention program with a throwing evaluation I saw the day following the class.

Overall, this course made me a better sports therapist and anyone who see's sports specific patients should highly consider this course.
