speaker at the World Confederation of Physical
Therapy, and at the Canadian, Australian, New
Zealand and Danish national congresses.
Dr. Sahrmann's research interests are in
development and validation of classification
schemes for movement impairment syndromes
as well as in exercise based interventions for
these syndromes. Her books, Diagnosis and
Treatment of Movement Impairment Syndromes
and Movement System Impairment Syndromes
of the Cervical and Thoracic spines and the
Extremities, describe the syndromes and
methods of treatment.

2. Registration Form
This course will provide a review and update of the
concepts and principles of movement system
impairment (MSI) syndromes. Specific syndromes of
the cervical spine, scapula, and humerus will be
discussed. The MSI exam used to diagnose these
syndromes and identify the contributing factors will
be described. The course includes both lecture and
subject demonstrations of the examination. The
treatment programs for specific subjects will also be
included in the presentation. This course will describe
the relationship between shoulder alignment and
movement patterns and the effect on the cervical
spine. The recent research and the best available
evidence concerning movement system syndromes
will be presented.
The participant should be able to discuss the key
concepts of: 1) path of least resistance, 2) you get
what you train, 3) precision in motion is critical, 4)
relative stiffness, 5) relative flexibility, 6) micro-
instability, 7) no magic in an exercise unless
demonstrating desired performance, 8) presence of a
muscle does not mean optimal performance, 9) align-
ment and movement as controlled by muscles in
series, 10) the way daily activities are performed is
critical, and 11) micro-instability (accessory motion
hypermobility) is the cause of pain and degeneration.
