COMT-5: Lower Extremity, April 26-27, 2025
COMT-5: Lower Extremity – Integrated Concepts and Modern Management
Course Description: If you are looking for a course on manual therapy and clinical reasoning then look no further. This is the last course in a series of five courses in the COMT certification series (does not have to be taken in order).
Participants will incorporate techniques into evidence-informed clinical practice guidelines for specific lower quadrant movement impairments and interpret relevant outcomes measures to guide treatment progression.
Course Details
This course is 2 days onsite of lecture with hands on technique lab and 1 day asynchronous online. Participants will receive an e-link to the online course materials 2 weeks prior to the course and an e-link to the onsite course materials 1 week prior to the course. Please watch for the links in your email inbox.
This case-based, lab-focused course features human movement and high performing PT management of the lower extremity.
Participants will screen and analyze the role of lower extremity movement, its relationship to the lumbopelvic spinal quadrant, incorporating the patient’s health conditions, pain presentations, and relevant biopsychosocial factors.
Mobility patterns of the lower and lower quadrant system are studied, and the central and spinal neurophysiological factors determining normal and abnormal movement patterns.
Management strategies include education, activity modification, manual therapy techniques, and individualized neuromuscular rehabilitation prescription, with the goal of restoring optimal function and preventing future health conditions and impairments.
