Mind over Movement: Psychological Barriers and Treatment to Modify Movement Following Traumatic Knee Injury

About this course

Persistent aberrant movement patterns and physical inactivity following traumatic knee injury increase the risk of secondary injury, disability and poor long-term health. Growing evidence, through the lens of the biopsychosocial model, strongly supports mechanistic links between poor psychological outcomes and aberrant movement in patients with traumatic knee injury. Therefore, there is a critical need to incorporate clinically feasible, psychologically focused interventions to overcome persistent high-risk movement patterns and improve long-term knee joint health. The purpose of this course is to explain the psychophysiological mechanisms that influence psychological and physiological recovery, including altered movement patterns that affect both activities of daily living and physical activity engagement in patients after traumatic knee injury. Furthermore, the course will identify evidence-based psychological interventions to supplement current rehabilitation strategies that target high-risk movement patterns and low levels of physical activity.

What you will learn

• Summarize the current scope of the literature regarding aberrant movement patterns and poor psychological recovery throughout rehabilitation for traumatic knee injury
• Link poor psychological outcomes with aberrant movement patterns (i.e., walking/landing biomechanics and physical activity) following traumatic knee injury
• Implement psychologically-informed strategies to aid in modifying movement and physical activity in individuals after traumatic knee injury with the goal of reducing injury risk and improving long-term health
