Moderator: Kristine Boyle-Walker, MPT, OCS, ATC, CHT - Orthopaedic Specialty Institute
NeuroKinetic Therapy® (NKT) is an application of motor control theory, neuroscience, and
functional anatomy (neurobiomechanics) that will help you unravel the cause of faulty movement
patterns in the brain’s motor control center. NKT® identifies muscle imbalances by using unique
protocols to determine what muscles are inhibited and what muscles are compensating for them,
thereby allowing you to utilize specific treatment and corrective exercise techniques to restore proper
movement patterns and reprogram the motor control center. In this Learning Lab, you will be taught
how to identify and correct faulty movement patterns, as well as change the motor control program in
the Motor Control Center. (Domain: II/Level: Advanced)

Moderator: Beth Ann Young, ATC – Punahou School
This presentation is designed to introduce the Secondary School Value Model to ATs in this setting,
and provide tools/suggestions in regard to its implementation. Secondary School ATs need to be able
to understand and demonstrate their value to their parents, administrators, and community in order to
improve their job satisfaction, improve patient care, and increase economic impact for their school
and program. Traditionally, SSATC's have not had the comfort level, or skill set to understand and
apply business concepts to their setting, which will also be presented. (Domain: V/Level: Essential)

Bryan Pacillas, MPT – CORE, Visalia, CA
Moderator: Tom Wahl, MS, ATC, CSCS – Saint Louis School
Our understanding of sports related hip injuries, in particular labral pathology, and the treatment for
these injuries has progressed rapidly over the last decade. Since most of these patients are younger
athletes, Athletic Trainers need to be well versed in the diagnosis, treatment options, rehabilitation of
these patients. We will briefly review the hip anatomy and focus on clinical and imaging diagnostic
tests; treatments for non-arthritic hip pain, focusing on joint preservation surgery for internal and
external snapping hip, femoroacetabular impingement, and labral tears; provide non-operative
rehabilitation principles/goals, and review post-operative rehab protocols, focusing on labral tears.

Knee Mechanics across the Lifespan: Implications for Prevention and Care of Pathologies
Samantha Andrews, PhD-C, ATC – University of Hawaii, Manoa
Kara Radzak, PhD, ATC – University of Nevada, Las Vegas
Cris Stickley, PhD, ATC, CSCS – University of Hawaii, Manoa
Moderator: Bret Freemyer, PhD, ATC – University of Hawaii, Manoa
As Athletic Training practice expands beyond the care of traditional athletic populations, an
increased understanding of factors effecting knee function across the lifespan is necessary. An
appreciation of the knee’s intra-articular complexity is imperative to understanding predisposing
biomechanical risks associated with the development of pathology and the morphological changes
occurring over time due to the presence of pathology. The breakdown of knee mechanics can begin
in young adults who present with over-use injuries of the knee. The deterioration of knee
biomechanics can continue over several decades, potentially leading to the progression of age-related
pathology, particularly osteoarthritis. (Domains: I,II,IV/Level: Advanced)

Clinical Evaluation of Individuals at Risk for Patellofemoral Pain: Techniques for Assessment
and Intervention
Sponsored by the NATA Research and Education Foundation
Michelle C. Boling, PhD, ATC – University of North Florida
Moderator: Marco Boscolo, PhD, ATC, CSCS – California State University, Sacramento
Clinicians often assess static and dynamic postures in an effort to identify underlying factors that
predispose individuals to common chronic lower extremity injuries, such as patellofemoral pain
(PFP). This session will provide an overview of the evidence supporting abnormal static alignment
and faulty dynamic motion as risk factors for PFP. The overhead squat movement screening
technique will be discussed as an effective method to assess for risk factors. Intervention strategies to
target proposed risk factors will also be presented. (Domains: I,II,IV/Level: Essential)

Shoulder Dislocations: Any Which Way but Loose
S. Nicholas Crawford, MD – Straub Hospital
Moderator: Troy Furutani, MS, ATC – University of Hawaii, HCAMP
Shoulder instability remains an elusive problelm, especially when tying to apply treatment
algorithms. Approximately 7-15% of our arthroscopic surgeries fail to stabilize the shoulder. Our
understanding of the different types as well as patient specific variables that change treatment
decisions is increasing. With the increased understanding will hopefully come better treatment
outcomes. We will cover the important anatomy and mechanics of the shoulder, injury statistics,
past/present/future treatments, current arthroscopic and open techniques and finally a picture of
where we are now. With the overall goal to decrease treatment failures and health care spending.

Manual Interventions for the Evaluation and Treatment of Common Athletic Injuries to the
Cervical Spine
Paul A. Ullucci, PT, PhD, DPT, ATC, SCS, CSCS – California State University, Fresno
Moderator: Sanam Rezazadeh – University of Hawaii, Manoa
Cervical spine injuries are commonly seen in athletics. It is essential that athletic trainers be fully
versed in the manual evaluation of both segmental mobility and stability within the cervical spine, in
order to minimize time loss from participation as well as prevent catastrophic injury. This session
will provide the attendee with manual therapy evaluative and treatment procedures which have been
shown to improve mobility and reduce pain in patients with cervical spine injuries, brachial plexus
injuries and headaches. Issues relating specifically to athletes with special needs or who are involved
in collision/combat sports will be highlighted.

Using Bug-In-Ear Technology to Improve Communication during Clinical Education Experiences
Sara Nottingham, EdD, ATC – Chapman University
Moderator: Lorena Tarnay, MS, ATC, CSCS – Fullerton College
Bug-in-ear technology, or two-way radios, have been used in teacher education to facilitate feedback
delivery and student confidence while developing students’ competence as professionals. Recent
research in athletic training* has found bug-in-ear technology effectively improves communication
between preceptors and students during clinical education experiences. This presentation will explain
how bug-in-ear technology can be used during clinical education through evidence-based instruction,
instructional videos, and discussion. Directed toward preceptors and clinical education coordinators,
attendees will learn when and how bug-in-ear technology can be used during various patient care
situations with students while ensuring proper supervision and high quality educational experiences.

Identification and Management of Post-Concussion Syndrome Patients with Cervicogenic and
Vestibular Ocular Dysfunction: Moving beyond Brain Physiology
Paul A. Ullucci, PT, PhD, DPT, ATC, SCS, CSCS – California State University, Fresno
Moderator: Jamie DeRollo, MBA, ATC, EMT – San Joaquin Delta College
The literature is inundated with articles dealing with the topic of concussions and Post- Concussion
Syndrome (PCS).1-10
Despite this fact, there is little current discussion in the sports medicine world as
to PCS symptoms which are not specifically caused by abhorrent physiologic changes within the
brain such as the upper cervical spine.1,3,4
While the literature has provided ample evidence that
symptoms commonly found in PCS patients can be caused by the upper cervical spine there is limited
information available as to best screening procedures for patients with PCS symptoms despite the
multitude of evidence of its importance.3,4,6,7
While evidence suggests that PCS symptoms can be
attributed to non-physiologic changes in the brain, Athletic Trainers may not be aware of the need to
screen the cervical spine and vestibular ocular systems for causes of prolonged PCS symptoms in
their patients. This is despite the fact that common PCS symptoms such as dizziness, tinnitus,
headache and feelings of confusion or difficulty with concentration have all been linked to
symptomatic as well as asymptomatic upper cervical pathology.1,3,4,6,8-12
This presentation will provide the attendee with evidence based screening procedures for identifying
PCS symptoms due to physiologic, vestibular ocular or cervicogenic origins. Attendees will also be
introduced to evidence based treatment procedures designed to allow the Athletic Trainer to treat
individuals with cervicogenic PCS symptoms. (Domains: II,IV/Level: Advanced)

Muscle Energy for the SI Joint
Peggy A. Houglum, PhD – Cedar Grove, WI
Moderator: Michelle P. Harrington, ATC – Punahou School
Although it may be argued that the sacroiliac joint has significant movement, it can be agreed upon
that this joint is often the source of pain for many individuals. Pain referred to and from this joint is
often frustrating to deal with for both the clinician and the patient. Muscle energy is a manual therapy
tool clinicians have that can effectively treat the SI joint. Theories and specific applications of muscle
energy is discussed and presented to provide the attendee with clinical applications and uses of

The Leadership Ladder in Athletic Training
Patricia A. Aronson, PhD, ATC – Lynchburg College
Moderator: Emily Cherpin – University of La Verne
Objective: To model one person’s climb up the leadership ladder in the AT profession to motivate
and inspire others to follow. Background: This models a young-to-seasoned AT climbing the ladder
of leadership through volunteerism using the “network.” This presentation will describe the
difference between a climber and one who waits to be asked to be involved. The importance of
professional service and professional development will be made clear. Key Points: To be a leader one
must lead-off, get started, pursue, etc. The “network” is to be used and mentoring is helpful. At the
heart of athletic training is professional service.

Public relations can be used to support and grow the profession of athletic training through multiple
avenues of communication (social media, website, e-mail campaigns and newsletters) by spreading
information throughout the district and general public. This presentation will educate our district
members about the role of public relations and how we can share information regarding the
profession. Public relations can be a valuable tool to create positive branding for athletic trainers and
the profession as a whole, and we aim to present ways in which to do so, in addition to discussing
appropriate use of social media for athletic trainers. (Domain: V/Level: Essential)

It is well established that formal and information mentorship programs have benefits for professionals and
organizations. Newly certified professionals often become preceptors within their first 5 years. Entry level
athletic trainers and young professionals need to make the transition from mentee to mentor. Well experienced
professionals need to consider mentee culture and learn how to better motivate and communicate with young
professionals. Mentors and mentees can both benefit by abiding by key principles and clearly defining
expectations for their designated role. While mentorship programs are initiated, successful program design is
a key component to success. (Domain: V/Level: Essential)

Maximizing Injury Rehabilitation Motivation Workshop
Sponsored by the NATA PDC
Jordan Hamson-Utley, PhD, LAT, ATC - University of St. Augustine
The athletic training educational competencies suggest that athletic trainers should be knowledgeable
in the application of psychosocial intervention techniques to enhance motivation and the holistic care
provided to patients. Despite this expectation, research has demonstrated that athletic training
students and athletic trainers feel unprepared to incorporate psychosocial intervention techniques into
their clinical practice. This workshop is designed to help athletic trainers facilitate and enhance the
motivation of their patients during the rehabilitation process. Two different theoretical frameworks
will be discussed and how these concepts apply to rehabilitation motivation. Through group
activities, discussion of motivational theory and strategies, and hands-on “practice” participants will
gain understanding of what drives motivation, as well as learn key [evidence-based] intervention
strategies that can be used with any clientele. (Domain: IV/Level: Advanced)

Head Injury Update on Cognitive Rest and Effective Education Models
Tricia Kasamatsu, PhD, ATC – California State University, Fullerton
Ross Oshiro, MS, ATC – Queen’s Medical Center
Moderator: Jeff Roberts, MS, ATC, FMSC, CES, PES – Ohlone College
Cognitive rest has been accepted as part of the initial management of concussion (Broglio et al
2014).1
However, the degree to which rest is recommended and the duration of time required is not
clearly understood (Moser et al 2012; Gibson et al 2013; Brown et al 2014; Halstead et al 2013;
Thomas et al 2015; Ransom et al 2015; Schneider et al 2013).2-8
This presents a particular challenge
for clinicians working with student-athletes due to the need to balance rest with the completion of
academic work. To promote school-wide support and recognition of concussions, concussion
education efforts are underway. Legislation and organizational bylaws often mandate concussion
education for coaches, parents, and athletes; however, little is known about the formats or the
effectiveness of these interventions (Provvidenza et al 2013).9 As many athletic trainers are involved
in concussion educational efforts, knowledge of best practices regarding concussion education
delivery and available models targeted to specific populations is necessary to promote awareness,
intention to report, and proper management. To bridge the gaps in cognitive rest recommendations
and concussion education delivery, a critical review of the latest research is necessary to enhance
athletic trainers’ delivery of patient-centered care. (Domains: I,III,IV/Level: Advanced)

Evidence-Based Management for Overhead Athletes with SLAP Lesions
Lori Michener, PhD, PT, ATC, SCS, FAPTA – University of Southern California
Moderator: Christopher Ludwig, EdD, ATC – University of the Pacific
SLAP tears are common in overhead athletes. There are a large number of history and special tests
described in the literature for use to confirm or rule out the presence of a SLAP lesion, however there
is inconsistent or misuse of these special tests.¹ It appears that evidence for the diagnostic accuracy of
the special tests is not readily considered in selecting which test or battery of tests, ² because of the
high rates of use of special tests that have repeatedly reported to not be helpful to diagnose SLAP
tears.³ The management of SLAP lesions include non-operative and operative management, but the
evidence for outcomes of both approaches are limited. Clinical trials directly comparing outcomes
between surgical and non-operative management are absent, however in cohort trials the reports of
function and return to sport outcomes are quite similar for each management approach.⁴⁻¹¹ The return to sport vary widely, but generally are lower for those who want to return to overhead sports.¹¹⁻¹² A critical review of the latest evidence regarding the diagnosis and management of SLAP lesions is
warranted to enable evidence-based clinical decision-making for overhead athletes with SLAP

Psychological Coping Strategies with Athletic Injury
Kelsey Bains, MA, ATC – Santiago Canyon College
Moderator: Emily Cherpin, University of La Verne
Athletic trainers can play a significant role in assisting an athlete who is coping with an injury. It is
essential to recognize different coping strategies used after injury and understand how to manage
emotionally charged injury situations. As athletic trainers frequently interact with athletes after
injury, psychological intervention (e.g., mindfulness, visualization) may be helpful, as well as
facilitating the inclusion of other healthcare professionals when necessary. This presentation will
discuss the impact that treating the whole person can play in overall recovery and how psychological
intervention can aid in return to play.

Current Trends in Pre-Hospital care of the Spine Injured Athlete
Carolyn Greer, MA, ATC – University of San Diego
Moderator: Nysa Allen – University of La Verne
Pre-hospital spine immobilization has been the standard of care for the athlete that sustains head
and/or neck trauma. Information previously recommended that full body immobilization be applied
to these injured athletes. There is little data that supports this practice, and in fact it is shown that
spine immobilization may cause more harm than good. In addition, the previous recommendation for
the equipment-laden athlete was to ensure the airway is accessible, but stabilize the athlete with the
equipment on. This presentation will focus on current EMS standards for spine motion restriction;
spine motion restriction/immobilization techniques; and equipment removal decision and techniques.

Intra-articular vs Extra-articular Hip Impingement: An Update on Emerging Diagnoses
Scott Cheatham, PT, DPT, PhD(C), OCS, ATC, CSCS – California State University, Dominguez Hills
Moderator: Megan Oxenford, MS, ATC, CSCS – Naval Health Clinic Hawaii SMART Clinic
There is growing subgroup of patients with poor outcomes after hip arthroscopy for intra-articular
pathology suggesting unrecognized cause(s) of impingement may exist that are extra-articular. The
recent literature has identified 4 main types of extra-articular impingment that include: central
iliopsoas impingement, subspine impingement, ischiofemoral impingement, and greater trochanteric-
pelvic impingement. This presentation provides new insight into these emerging pathologies. A
comparison of the clinical presention of intra-articular versus extra-articular hip pathololgy will also
be discussed. This presentation provides an update on these rapidly emerging pathologies. (Domain:

Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization (IASTM): What is the Evidence?
Stephanie D. Moore-Reed, PhD, ATC – California State University, Fresno
Moderator: Katy Cohen, MS, ATC – Chapman University
Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization (IASTM) is becoming increasingly popular in the field
of Sports Medicine and Athletic Training. IASTM is used by clinicians with varying degrees of
training and knowledge of the treatment. While there is growing evidence to support some of the
purported benefits of IASTM treatments, many clinicians are unaware of the ideal treatment
parameters to achieve these benefits. The purpose of this presentation is to educate attendees on the
benefits, precautions, and myths of IASTM, and to provide a summary of the best available evidence
related to this commonly used treatment. (Domain: IV/Level: Essential)
