Functional and practical return-to-sport assessments are often overlooked in pediatric athletes with spinal conditions. This course will introduce clinicians to a variety of spine-specific conditions that frequently affect adolescent athletes. It will teach clinicians functional assessments to enhance their clinical decision-making for return to sports with these patients and guide them through the five phases of rehabilitation. This is an intermediate course for physical therapists and athletic trainers working in the outpatient or sports facility setting.
