ESP Shoulder diagnostics and rehabilitation

Introduction
The lifetime prevalence of shoulder pain is 20-30%. Physiotherapists in private practices, hospitals and rehabilitation centres frequently deal with patients with shoulder problems. Of all shoulder diagnoses, “subacromial pain syndrome” is the most common diagnosis. Given the variety of specific orthopaedic tests and the latest insights into the pathophysiology of acute and chronic tendon injuries, it is a major challenge for many physiotherapists to design individualised therapy to address the shoulder problem in question. In this course, relevant diagnostic tests will be discussed and practised. Guidance is given from diagnosis to the therapeutic process by acute and chronic shoulderproblems ( SAPS, Instability, Frozen shoulder and tendon pathologies).

Expertise
Competence to act: By applying the newly learnt diagnostic tests and intervention methods, the participant can advise patients professionally and apply movement therapy interventions for the various forms of  SAPS, shoulder instability, Frozen shoulder and tendon problems.

After completing this course, the participant can responsibly and professionally care for and advise patients and clients with shoulder problems in the diagnostic, therapeutic and preventive process.

Goals
Medical teaching area
• Participants will be familiar with the specific physiology and functions of the connective tissue of the glenohumeral capsule and tendons. 
• Participants will be familiar with the anatomy and biomechanics of the shoulder joint and know its clinical relevance for diagnosis and treatment.

Physiotherapy teaching area
• The Participants will be familiar with the most common pathologies of the shoulder joint
• The participants know the different physiotherapy tests for the various pathologies of the shoulder.
• The participants know the guidelines for active rehabilitation in patients with shoulder complaints and can apply them clinically.
• The participants know the most important exercises for the upper extremities and can perform them practically.
