Effective evaluation and treatment of dance-specific injuries can be difficult for clinicians who are unfamiliar with the demands of the dance population. This requires changes to not only the evaluation and assessment of the patient but also to the treatment throughout the phases of rehab to return to demanding activity. This course will introduce clinicians to a variety of conditions and injuries that frequently affect adolescent dancers. It will teach clinicians functional assessments to enhance their clinical decision-making for return-to-dance participation with these patients.
