About This CourseShoulder pain and dysfunction are common in the elderly. This course will incorporate recent advances in understanding of normal shoulder biomechanics and mechanisms of shoulder pain and dysfunction with application toward assessment and treatment of the painful aging shoulder. The course will include lecture presentation on natural history of the aging shoulder, common movement deviations associated with common pathologies in aging, surgical approaches and post-surgical restrictions, and targeted physical therapy interventions. A guided movement assessment lab will also be included. Course ObjectivesUpon completion of this course, participants will be able to:
- Identify normal motions, muscle functions, and natural history of the aging shoulder.
- Recognize common shoulder movement deviations and associated pathology.
- Describe typical surgical approaches and post-surgical precautions with common
surgeries for the aging shoulder. - Perform a movement assessment for pain in the aging shoulder.
- Select appropriate rehabilitation interventions for the aging shoulder.

She received her MA in Physical Therapy and PhD in Exercise Science from the University of Iowa. Her initial Physical Therapy degree is from the College of St. Scholastica. Her research and teaching interests are in the area of orthopaedic biomechanics, with particular interest in mechanisms of injury and rehabilitation approaches for the shoulder. Dr. Ludewig also serves as an Associate Editor for the Journal of Orthopaedic & Sports Physical Therapy.
Jonathan P. Braman, MD did his residency at the University of Washington before completing a Shoulder Fellowship with Dr. Evan Flatow at Mt. Sinai in New York City. He is Associate Professor and Chief of Shoulder Surgery at the Unversity of Minnesota Department of Orthopaedic Surgery. He is also Residency Director for the Orthopaedic Surgery Residency.
Rebekah Lawrence received her undergraduate degree from Bradley University and her DPT degree from St. Ambrose University. She completed St. Ambrose University's orthopaedic residency program and subsequently obtained board certification in orthopaedic physical therapy. Becky is currently a third year PhD student in the University of Minnesota's Program in Rehabilitation Science with an emphasis in biomechanics.
Justin Staker is a 2002 graduate of Mayo School of Health Sciences. He received his sports specialty certification after graduating from the Gundersen Lutheran Sports Medicine Residency Program in 2007. Justin has practiced in a variety of orthopedic and sports clinics over 10 years during which he also received his orthopedic specialty certification. He is currently in the second year of PhD studies at the University of Minnesota Program in Rehabilitation Science with a focus on shoulder biomechanics. He also has teaching responsibilities in anatomy, biomechanics, clinical procedures with the University of Minnesota DPT program.
