Serious pathology course - Red flags in clinical practice with Laura Finucane

7th-8th October 2021

Course content

Kursinhalt
Der Kurs behandelt wichtige Themen zur Einschätzung von ernsthaften Pathologien im klinischen Physiotherapie-Alltag, wie Cauda equina Syndrom, Frakturen, maligne Prozesse, spinale Infektionen, entzündliche Erkrankungen und andere Pathologien. Ein spezielles Augenmerk wird auf Erkrankungen gelegt, die ein muskuloskelettales Problem vortäuschen können, bei denen aber eine ernsthafte Pathologie zu Grunde liegt. Das Erkennen von ernsthaften Pathologien stellt eine grosse Herausforderung in der Praxis dar, und dieses Thema wird in Zukunft weiter an Bedeutung gewinnen. Für Physiotherapeuten ist es heute ein Muss, die aktuellen Empfehlungen zum Erkennen von red flags zu kennen.

Wir sind überzeugt, dass die OMT-Therapeuten in unserem Verband ausgewiesene Spezialisten auf dem Gebiet der muskuloskelettalen Physiotherapie sind, und in ihrem Praxisalltag mit solchen Patienten konfrontiert werden.

Darum empfehlen wir unseren Mitgliedern den Kurs ‘Serious pathology – red flags in clinical practice’ wärmstens.
