Want to simplify your patient assessment and management, whilst improving your outcomes? Join us on Part B and learn how to use MDT to systematically assess, classify and treat cervical and thoracic spine problems. This course is worth 5 MDT CPD points for credentialed and diplomate members.
This 28 hour course focuses on the application of the McKenzie Method of Mechanical Diagnosis and Therapy (MDT) in the assessment, classification and management of patients with cervical or thoracic pain, referred pain and / or functional limitations.
Participants will explore and practice the MDT system through lectures, workshops, discussions, case studies and/or patient demonstrations.
The MDT classifications of Derangement, Dysfunction and Postural syndromes are described in detail and appropriate management plans are considered, with an emphasis on patient education and self-treatment. Subgroups not fulfilling the criteria of the MDT syndromes are reviewed and the basis for their differential diagnosis is outlined.
Indications for the use of clinician procedures are also considered and hands on techniques demonstrated and practiced..
Patient demonstrations and case studies are used to illustrate the assessment / re-assessment process and allow participants to get a realistic impression of the impact of the MDT system on different patient presentations.
