Lateral Epicondylalgia:

A Pragmatic Evidence Informed Approach

This clinical workshop will address key issues confronting the clinician in dealing with chronic recalcitrant Lateral Epicondylalgia (LE). This workshop will provide tuition in manual therapy and therapeutic exercise techniques for the upper kinetic chain as well as the current best practice evidence for its aetiology and treatment. 

 

Prof Vicenzino has extensive clinical and research experience of the physical treatment of lateral epicondylalgia. He leads a dynamic team of researchers at the University of Queensland who have recently published their results on physical therapy on this condition in prestigious medical journals such as JAMA, BMJ, and Lancet, as well as in discipline specific journals such as BJSM & Manual Therapy.

Professor Bill Vicenzino

School of Health and Rehabilitation Sciences Faculty of Health and Behavioral Sciences University of Queensland 
Chair in Sports Physiotherapy and Director of Sports Injuries Rehabilitation and Prevention for Health (SIRPH) research unit.

Key Content​

  • Clinical presentation, aetiology and pathophysiology of lateral epicondylagia and manual therapy applied at the elbow

  • Manual therapy and self treatment, taping techniques

  • Evidence base for management of lateral epicondylalgia

  • Manual therapy (cervical spine) and therapeutic exercise

  • Mechanisms of Action of Manual Therapy

​

​

After the course, participants will be able to:

  1. Explain current evidence underpinning the etiology of chronic lateral epicondylalgia (as well as other chronic tendinopathies) and how this relates to the pragmatic physical treatment approach presented in the course.

  2. Select and perform effective manual therapy treatments for chronic lateral epicondylalgia, including the instruction of home programs and application of taping techniques.

  3. Use the current level of evidence in the literature for physical treatment of lateral epicondylalgia.

  4. Put together and implement a pragmatic treatment program plan for lateral epicondylalgia based on latest evidence for manual therapy, exercise and taping.

Too Much Sitting:
Potential for Better Health through Understanding and Influencing Sedentary Behaviors

The burden of chronic disease in ageing overweight populations is placing unsustainable demands on health systems worldwide, including Singapore. Avoiding weight gain, maintaining a healthy diet and doing regular physical activity are all keys to a healthy ageing and preventing chronic diseases such as type 2 diabetes. In this context, the importance of avoiding prolonged periods of sitting is being highlighted by new research findings from epidemiological observational studies, experimental trials and real-world initiatives. Reducing and breaking up sitting time is now being incorporated into physical activity guidelines and potential implications for occupational health and safety are being addressed. 

 

This workshop, designed to be interactive and case-discussion based, provides a unique opportunity for clinicians, public health practitioners, occupational health and safety professionals and others concerned with chronic disease prevention and management to learn from the two international experts about this newly emerging and increasingly important topic. 

Professor Neville Owen

Baker IDI, Heart & Diabetes Institute and Swinburne University of Technology, Melbourne, Australia

​

Key Content​

  • Physiological impact of sitting and effects on chronic disease risk in the long term.

  • Evidence of sitting in chronic disease development and management.

  • How much physical activity might be needed to fight the impact of sitting?

  • What are the strengths and weakness of assessment tools for sitting?

  • What is the impact of too much sitting across the life span?

  • How do clinicians in the field translate research into clinical practice?

 

Participants in this workshop will learn more about the emerging evidence on sitting and health, how it can best be understood, and consider what might be done that could make a difference.

 WORKSHOP 2 

Optimizing Clinical Education Experience - 
An Action Learning Approach

Learning, reflecting and re-learning from our experiences is part and parcel our growing process to becoming better clinician. How can we are experienced practicioners continually pass on this concept of learning to the next generation of Physiotherapy professions - our juniors, mentees and students? 

​

This workshop will use the action learning approach to discuss and optimize clinical education experience. It is structured to target physical therapy students, clinicians and teachers interested in physiotherapy clinical education.
 

Professor Ming-Hsia Hu

School and Graduate institute of Physical Therapy College of Medicine, National Taiwan University

Key Content​

  • Process of action learning

  • Benefits of adapting action learning sets to solve practical problems

  • Learn and practice active listening, questioning and reflection skills in clinical education-related problem.

  • Drawing out action plans for problem solving

  • Sharing experiences in clinical education programs nation-wide

​​

After the course, participants will be able to:

  1. Understand the process of action learning and the advantage of adapting action learning sets to solve practical problems.

  2. Practice active listening, questioning and reflection skills to solve one’s own real-life clinical education-related problem.

  3. Redefine problems and plan for actions to tackle the complex tasks of solving the problems.

  4. Share experiences from each action learning set and harmonizing clinical education programs nation-wide
