Course Description
The goal of this 4-week online course is to provide a deeper understanding of the unique characteristics and needs of the overhead throwing athlete for integration of these unique features and sports medicine knowledge base resulting in the best, evidence-based management of these athletes. This course will cover the foundational anatomical demands, common adaptations, sports biomechanics, and kinematics for integration of these principles into the evidence-based management of these athletes from injury prevention through return to competition and performance enhancement.
Objectives
By the end of the course, a successful learner will be able to:
- Discuss the anatomical demands and adaptations of the throwing athlete.
- Evaluate the biomechanics and kinematics of overhead throwing.
- Describe the epidemiology of injury as it applies to the overhead throwing athlete.
