Title: Novel Techniques in Musculoskeletal Assessment and Management: Professional Ice Hockey Lessons to be Learned

Presenter: Mike Muir, ATC, CAT(C), CSCS

Date and Time: November 15, 1:15pm (EST) 

Location: Zoom (Synchronous webinar) 

Target Audience: Athletic Trainers

 

Learning Objectives:

  1. Review Vegas Golden Knights approach to musculoskeletal screening assessments and subsequent intervention approaches and management based on findings.
  2. Discuss integration of programming and collaboration across members of the Sports Performance & Sports Medicine staff to best address player needs.
  3. Provide description of skills and resources that an athletic trainer in any setting can use to implement similar techniques for patients in their practice.

 

Clinical Bottom Line: According to the International Ice Hockey Federation (IIHF), there are about 1.64 million athletes that play organized hockey. Ice hockey is a specialized sport with higher velocity than other mainstream collision sports that require the athlete to run. This results in unique physical demands for the ice hockey athlete. Athletic trainers infrequently learn musculoskeletal assessment and management approaches specific to this population as professional education prioritizes immediate and emergency care techniques for equipment laden athletes.

Title: Cultivating Resilience in the Rehabilitation Process

Presenter: Dr. Stephen P. Gonzalez, PhD, CMPC 

Date and Time: October 10th, 11:00am (EST) 

Location: Zoom (Synchronous webinar) 

Target Audience: Athletic Trainers

 

Learning Objectives:

  1. Define resilience and be able to compare and contrast similar terms (e.g. mental toughness, grit).

  2.  Evaluate the protective factors that an injured athlete has available to display resilience.

  3.  Provide skills and resources that an athlete can use to more effectively cope with and bounce back from injury.

 

Clinical Bottom Line: Psychological resilience has been identified as an important factor in performance and well-being in athletics. Given the popularity of resilience as a term, there is often a misunderstanding of what resilience is, how it is developed, and what coaches and athlete support teams can do to best cultivate resilience. This workshop will provide an overview of what resilience is, what resilience is not, and provide some evidence based strategies to help clients develop and sustain their resilience.

Title: Best Practices in Mental Health Policies and Procedures for Secondary School Student-Athletes

Presenter: Dr. Sarah Giasullo, PhD, LAT, ATC, CMPC, CSCS, Pn1

Date and Time: September 27th, 10:30am (EST) 

Location: Zoom (Synchronous webinar) 

Target Audience: Athletic Trainers

 

Learning Objectives:

1. Understand the prevalence of mental health concerns in the secondary school setting and stress factors faced by Generation Z

2. Identify risk factors and common signs/symptoms for these mental health concerns.

3. Examine best practices related to mental health for high school student-athletes.

4. Discuss strategy recommendations to implement mental health best practices in the secondary school setting.

 

Clinical Bottom Line: Resources are available to support athletic departments in the implementation of mental health best practices, however there is much variability on the adoption of these policies and procedures. The importance of having mental health services available to student-athletes is widely accepted, yet not all mental health best practices have been incorporated in athletic departments, even at the collegiate level. Little research has been conducted on the implementation of mental health best practices in secondary schools, however the recommendations for best practice policies can be tailored to the secondary school setting. Athletic trainers are health care professionals trained to identify, refer, and give support to patients with behavioral health conditions and thus can support the adoption of mental health best practices at the secondary school level.

Title: How to Successfully Implement a Strength Training Program for High School Athletes

Presenter: John E. Petrizzo, PT, DPT, CSCS

Target Audience: Athletic Trainers

Learning Objectives:

  1. Identify factors that predispose athletes to injury while strength training.
  2. Explain general guidelines for strength training in an adolescent population.
  3. Describe what periodization is and when it is appropriate to use when designing strength training programs for athletes.

Clinical Bottom Line: 

Strength training is a modality with a low barrier to entry that can have tremendous benefits not only from a performance standpoint, but also from an injury prevention standpoint as well, in an adolescent population.  There is a growing body of evidence that an appropriately designed strength training program is not only safe, but extremely beneficial for adolescents and high-school aged athletes.  However, there are still many misconceptions regarding strength training and younger athletes within the medical community.  This lecture will dispel some of the more common misconceptions associated with strength training in the younger population and discuss strategies to help participants implement safe and appropriate strength training programs for their athletes.

Title: High School Athletes Observing Ramadan: Dietary Considerations for Secondary School Athletic Trainers

Presenter: Tina Fallon, MS, RD, CSSD, LD

 

Target Audience: Athletic Trainers

Learning Objectives:

  1. Participants will be able to list basic dietary needs for HS aged athletes and examples of ideal snacks to encourage proper fueling pre/post exercise
  2. Participants will be able to describe who observes Ramadan, why, and this year’s timeline
  3. Participants will be able to state how fasting during Ramadan can impact sports performance
  4. Participants will be able to describe dietary strategies to maximize intake/hydration during non-fasting hours
  5. Participants will be able to identify training considerations in effort to support adolescent athletes that fast during Ramadan

Clinical Bottom Line: 

Athletes observing Ramadan will fast from sunrise to sunset for 30 days. Most athletes will continue to participate in physical activity throughout the observance. Therefore it is essential for Athletic Trainers to be knowledgeable in how fasting can impact an athlete's overall energy availability and sports performance, to be able to provide dietary suggestions for athletes observing, and to identify training considerations to support the adolescent athlete's observing Ramadan.

Title: Understanding the Patient Perspective following Sport-Related Concussion.

Presenter: Tamara C. Valovich McLeod, PhD, ATC, FNATA, FNAK

Target Audience: Athletic Trainers

Description:

Unlike other injuries that display outward signs, concussion results in little visible injury, requiring clinicians to use adjunct tools to guide management.  While these tools are helpful, only symptom assessment is moderately associated with health-related quality of life (Houston, 2016).  During the recovery period, patients are often removed from their sport and other physical activities.  While necessary for recovery, these actions can lead to feelings of isolation, depression, anxiety, and other mood disturbances that may impact the patient’s perceived health status (Valovich McLeod, 2017; 2019, 2022). This presentation will focus on improving concussion assessment through understanding the patient’s perspective and using tools such as patient-report outcomes as a means to provide whole person healthcare.

Learning Objectives:

  1. Describe the biopsychosocial model for concussion
  2. Evaluate the literature regarding concussion and health-related quality of life
  3. Discuss ways to assess the patient’s perspective
  4. Identify potential patient-report outcome measures for concussion

Clinical Bottom Line: 

The use of patient-oriented outcome measures to assess the patient perspective following concussion is a cost effective manner to evaluate the patient and include them in the development of the care plan. The use of PROs can also provide more detailed information that symptom screens and aid in directing concussion treatment strategies.

Title:  Early Stage ACL Management: How to Prevent Complications

Presenter: Timothy Tyler, MS, PT, ATC

Target Audience: Athletic Trainers

Description: There is a need as rehabilitation clinicians to prevent post operative failure following ACL reconstruction. This course will provide an up date on latest research on post-op ACL care in the literature and focus on integration of the current ACL rehabilitation knowledge into current practice. 

Learning Objectives:

  1. Explain how ACL injury and re-injury in the athlete is significantly high and increases with level of participation and types of sport participation 
  2. Discuss ACL injury biomechanics and how there are specific mechanisms of injury in this age groups that are biomechanically neuromuscularly different
  3. Describe surgical options that are very specific and vary with respect to gender, age, type of sport participation and long term goal
  4. Discuss and address concomitant pathology to reduce failure rate (i.e. multi-ligamentous instability, malalignment, and meniscal insufficiency) 

Clinical Bottom Line: Rehabilitation clinicians need to be well versed in the differences with respect to gender, age, sport participation and long term goals for ACL-R patients to better understand risk of re-injury or complications post-op and to reduce failure rates.

Title:  How to prevent your student athlete from becoming a lumbar spine patient

Presenter: Andrew Cannon, PT, SCS, MHS, CSCS

Target Audience: Athletic Trainers

Description: 

Low back pain (LBP) is a public health problem and the prevalence of LBP in adolescents has increased in recent years. LBP lifetime prevalence for ages 9-16 is 39% and from age 15 on prevalence is very similar to adults. Still we don't often think about adolescents and LBP? Not only is there considerable impact of LBP among adolescents in daily life, (e.g school absenteeism and reduced physical activity) but also due to the relationship between adolescent LBP and the development of disabling LBP in the future. Treating adolescents with LBP as adults will likely result in less than ideal outcomes. We all are aware that the predominant diagnoses are quite different as are the biopsychosocial drivers. In the busy athletic training room setting management and care for your athlete with LBP, as well as when to refer out can be a challenge for both the high school and collegiate student athlete. After a review of the anatomy, biomechanics and the value of historical biomechanical predictors, we will propose a management algorithm that is actionable, allows clarity, direction of care and the need for referral to other healthcare providers. This will be reinforced with case studies.

Learning Objectives:

  1. Compare and contrast LBP between adults and adolescents
  2. Describe the biomechanical and biopsychosocial risk factors related to adolescent and adult LBP
  3. Describe via case studies the application of the proposed low back pain management algorithm for the your student athletes

Title: The NATA 3rd Party Reimbursement Initiative

Presenter: Joe Greene, MS, ATC 

 

Target Audience: Athletic Trainers

Description: 

Athletic trainers deliver skilled healthcare services to athletes and the physically active population in high volume with an exceptionally diverse and versatile skillset.

Rarely, have athletic trainers, or their employers, attempted to submit claims for medically necessary care to insurance providers despite their scope of practice allowing them to deliver these services.

Because athletic trainers are nearly universally trained in collegiate environments where services are rarely billed, there has been limited exposure to the critical components of billing insurance companies successfully.

To help address this, and to help secure reimbursement long term, the NATA established the NATA Third Party Reimbursement Initiative in 2018 to help educate athletic trainers and athletic training leadership to advocate effectively and best move this effort forward. This presentation provides background on the current status of the project.

 

Learning Objectives:

At the end of this learning experience, participants will be able to; 

  1. Summarize the current status of the NATA Third Party Reimbursement Initiative.
  2. Recognize the term medical necessity and the need for it to be present in order to bill third party payors successfully.
  3. Analyze the nuances of how a practice act, documentation, and implementation all most be coordinated optimally in order to bill successfully.
  4. Analyze the need for consistent and effective advocacy with both employers and insurance providers.

Title: Steps to improve Documentation for the Athletic Trainer

Presenter: Ed Strapp, FP-C, NRP, ATC

 

Target Audience: Athletic Trainers

Description: 

Ask many Athletic Trianers, and they'll tell you documentation is one of the least favorite parts of their job. However, next to patient care, it is one of the most important things ATs do. Many Athletic Trainers do not appreciate the varied and critical purposes served by their patient care documentation. Some simply see their patient care reports as documents filed in their office or casually tossed aside or ignored by the physician they refer their athlete too. Some see these documents more as evidence that "can and will be used against them" in a quality improvement review. A deeper appreciation for improved documentation requires a better understanding of its uses, applications and the vital components of Clinical and operational aspects as well as legal and financial pieces.

Title: Lateral Epicondylagia - Comprehensive Assessment and Management

Presenter: Terry Pratt, PT, MS, OCS, COMT, FAAOMPT

Location: On Demand - Asynchronous

Target Audience: Athletic Trainers

Description: 

This course will describe the current evidence regarding assessment and management of lateral elbow tendinopathies.  Significant changes have occurred in understanding of the mechanisms and pathology of lateral elbow pain.  Although this is typically termed “lateral epicondylitis” or “tennis elbow”, recent investigation has determined that this condition is not typically active inflammation but a tissue response and changes due to too little or too much loading or a result of abrupt fluctuations in loading of the tissue in combination with suboptimal biomechanics.  Traditional treatment has included the use of eccentric exercises, R.I.C.E., frictions and stretching can be provocative.  Alternative treatment approaches will be presented in combination with describing the impact of aging, vascularity, collagen makeup, and tendon type and how they impact clinical decision-making regarding management and treatment.

 

Learning Objectives:

At the end of this learning experience, participants will be able to;

-List major and minor contributing factors predisposing patients to lateral elbow tendinopathy.

-Describe evidence-based test clusters for identifying structures contributing to elbow pain and discomfort.

-Describe evidence-based therapies for the treatment of lateral elbow tendinopathy.
