Objectives

1. Assess acute injury and the need for early interventions.  
2. Investigate obstacles to early interventions and evaluate opportunities for modifiable task training.  
3. Analyze neurological threat and its impact on pain, range of motion, strength, motor control, and overall function.   
4. Propose clinical interventions to manage neurological threat.  
5. Utilize manual therapy techniques within an acute care treatment program.  
6. Determine the role and efficacy of vibration tools.  
7. Integrate cupping therapies in an acute care treatment program. 
8. Choose appropriate compression devices to manage fluid and optimize healing. 
9. Implement kinesiology taping applications in an acute care setting.  
10. Evaluate the role exercise and fitness plays in early injury interventions.  
11. Demonstrate the role that tissue temperature, alternative modalities and supplements can have on tissue quality.  
12. Apply optimal acute care concepts to knee, hip, spine, and shoulder injuries including ability to perform occupational tasks and ADLs for home independence.
