Title: Using the Science to Improve Movement In The Athlete
Biography:
Trent Nessler, PT, DPT, MPT – CEO/Founder A.C.L., LLC | Author | Innovator in Movement Science and Technology Trent is CEO/Founder of Accelerated Conditioning and Learning, LLC, developer of the Dynamic Movement Assessment® (DMA®), Fatigue Dynamic Movement Assessment® (FDMA®) and 3D-DMA®. He has lectured in the area of movement assessment for over 15 years and is the author of the e-textbook Dynamic Movement Assessment: Reduce Injuries and Improve Performance. Trent holds a Bachelor’s degree in Exercise Physiology, a Master’s in Physical Therapy and a Doctorate in Physical Therapy with a focus on biomechanics and motor learning. He has been a physical therapist for over 17 years and has treated high school, collegiate, Olympic and professional athletes for over a decade. Trent has also worked with police departments, fire departments and military institutions to assist in injury prevention and improved performance in the tactical athlete. Trent has been an invited speaker to present nationally and internationally on movement assessment in the elite athlete. This has included the Southeast Athletic Trainers Association, The International Congress on Physical Activity, Centro de Educação Física Almirante Adalberto Nunes (CEFAN), The American Sports Medicine Institute’s Annual Baseball Conference, The Andrews Institutes Annual Injuries in Football Conference, Andrews Education and Research Institute, Seattle Mariners, Professional Baseball Athletic Trainers Society (PBATS), Rocky Mountain Athletic Trainers Association, American Physical Therapy Association’s Combined Section Meeting and various state physical therapy associations. Trent has also been used as a nationally recognized resource for Advance PT, The Washington Post, as well as Web MD. He currently sits on the USA Cheer Safety Council, is associate editor of The International Journal of Athletic Therapy and Training and currently serves as an injury consultant to the Brazilian Navy.
Abstract:
Every year there are over 250,000 anterior cruciate ligament injuries (ACL) in high schoolathletics. The abnormal movement patterns of the lower limbs that put athletes at risk for these injuries are well known and documented in the research. Boling et al and Coppack et al have shown that these same abnormal movement patterns associated with ACL injury risk in athletics also lead to increased injury rates among military recruits. DeHaven et al showed that it is these same movement patterns among recruits that leads patellofemoral pain syndrome (PFPS), one of the most common lower extremity injures suffered among recruits. Firestone et al showed that insufficient training among recruits leads to these movement patterns and increases risk of lower limb injury with high impact activities such as running, cutting and jumping. Although the movement patterns have been well documented in the biomechanical literature, little is still understood on how to assess this in a clinical or physical setting. Many have speculated that these movement patterns are primarily driven by decreased maximal volitional contraction (MVC) and altered muscle sequencing between the quadriceps and hamstrings. However, Stearns et al and Pullen et al showed that decreased MVC of the gluteus medius and gluteus maximus and poor core strength contribute to these abnormal movement patterns that put athletes and recruits at risk. Although it is well understood and documented on how to address these weaknesses, there has still been little blending of the knowledge gained from the biomechanical literature with the rehabilitation sciences. In this workshop, the presenter will provide participants with how to assess these movements in athletic populations and we can apply rehabilitation science and techniques to improve. This will be an active workshop so be prepared to move!

Abstract:
Exercise stress test (EST) is the most common reliable noninvasive and relatively inexpensive tool for primary diagnosis and evaluation of patients who have or at risk of developing cardiac diseases, the most common of which is coronary artery disease (CAD). EST is a cardiovascular stimulation test which is performed on treadmill or bicycle, monitoring the electrocardiogram (ECG), blood pressure (BP), heart rate (HR) and patient appearance including chest pain and dyspnea. The American College of Cardiology (ACC) and American Heart Association (AHA) recommended that EST is the first of choice test in the diagnosis of CAD intermediate- risk patients and most patients who can exercise. Although emphasis has been placed on the diagnostic value of ST-segment depression, EST provides other valuable diagnostic and prognostic data. The objective of this symposium to provide revised standards, update and guidelines of EST which include: 1. Physiology of Exercise Stress Test 2. Exercise Stress Test Procedure 3. Interpretation of Exercise Stress Test date 4. Integrated scores & Modern report of exercise stress test

Abstract:
Injuries can occur in many different settings, from acute injuries on the playing field to overuse injuries in the office. People rarely seek immediate treatment feeling that the pain will “go away on its own”. However, what tends to happen is the body adapts to the injured area but creates distal or systemic dysfunctions in the process. This makes the diagnosis more difficult as the person has symptoms that brought them in but an underlying, unresolved injury that may or may not be symptomatic. Regardless of the situation, patients want to return to their normal activities as quickly and pain-free as possible. Fascial Movement Patterning is based on the works of Thomas Myers ("Anatomy Trains"). This system will address the paradigm shift from joint-centric dysfunction and rehabilitation to a systemically-focused assessment program. Attendees will be able to identify common compensation techniques and how they lead to further dysfunction. Attendees will then learn quick, global screening techniques to identify the cause of dysfunction regardless of where pain manifests. The dysfunctional movement patterns will then be analyzed from the more traditional joint-centric view to allow for objective data collection.
