Course Description:

There will be approximately 1 million ankle injuries this year alone.  A third to two thirds of those injuries will experience continued problems or repeat injuries.  Are we doing enough to help them?  Are we missing the differential diagnosis and instead just treating an average ankle sprain? What role could prevention play?  Mark Flinders, PT, ATC, SCS will guide you through the process of doing an effective evaluation and differentiating between causes and appropriate treatment for foot and ankle injuries.

-Understand the ankle/foot anatomy
-Understand the common injuries seen for the ankle/foot joints
