EM349: Managing Lower Limb Tendons: Tendinopathies of the lower limb with Seth O'Neill

Lecturer Seth O'Neill is an associate professor and lecturer in physiotherapy at the University of Leicester, and is also regularly involved in clinical practice with patients. He holds a PhD in tendinopathy, in which Seth identified rates of prevalence of tendinopathy in UK runners and has developed a greater understanding of the risk factors linked to Achillea tendinopathy.
In this course, various aspects concerning the topic of tendinopathies will be addressed, such as the etiology of tendinopathy and how to consider these factors in the management of treatment.
You will be shown how to diagnose lower limb tendinopathies and then how to set up a treatment plan for each patient.
In addition, the topic of Achilles tendon rupture will be addressed, how to recognize it and which treatments to apply.
Participants will have the opportunity to put into practice what they have learned and practice assessment and treatment techniques under the supervision of the teacher.

 

Course objectives:

  • Understanding and knowing the etiology, risk factors and pain in lower limb tendinopathies
  • Knowing how to make a differential diagnosis for lower limb tendinopathies
  • Knowing how to conduct a thorough evaluation for the clinical diagnosis of tendinopathies
  • Set up an adequate treatment plan including load progression
  • Treat the whole person
  • Know how to evaluate and treat Achilles tendon ruptures
