Rehab Considerations for Upper Quarter Injuries in Youth Athletes

This call is an intermediate level call intended for PT/OT/PTA/OTA/ATC currently treating patients participating in recreational and organized athletics. This 1-hour presentation will focus on the rehabilitation of the youth athlete following various upper quarter injuries. The number of youths participating in sports continues to increase each year. As young athletes are specializing in sports earlier and earlier, clinicians are continuing to see a rise in traumatic and overuse injuries. Recognition of injuries, informed rehabilitation, and education on prevention strategies are key to the longevity of a young athlete’s career.
