Regional Injury Prediction and Prevention Course

This four-day course is both theoretical (30%) and practical (70%) and is applicable to coaches, medical team, physiotherapists (PTs) and trainers. Increasing the interaction between PTs, medical and training staff will improve the communication between these specialists and improve the safe transition of injured clients/athletes from rehabilitation to functional training and ensure an effective return to work, activity or sport. To this effect, upon completion of the course, all attendees will be able to perform all RIPPs programming within their respective professional.

The Regional Injury Prediction and Prevention Program (RIPPs) is a research-based injury risk assessment and training system for both non-injured and injured clients. RIPPs employs standardized inclusion criteria, region specific baseline, intermediate, and final testing, performance-based phasic allocation, and the latest movement-based graduated training methods to regain full function and decrease future risk of injury.

This program is based upon injury risk prediction research and the Rehab for Performance (R4P) program – both created and completed by the instructor. While in the role of Regional Practice Leader for Eastern and Western Canada with the Canadian Armed Forces (CAF), Daniel developed R4P to decrease re-injury rates secondary to musculoskeletal injuries. The program was rolled out at several bases across the CAF leading to a significant decrease in injury rates. The program is now a national program running at all bases in the CAF.

Daniel completed his Masters on the prediction of musculoskeletal injuries in non-injured personnel in the CAF. He found that non-contact injury risk could be determined by region.

The ultimate goal of the RIPP program is to improve the physiological health of the injured tissue, decrease musculoskeletal injury and re-injury rates, improve function and performance, and facilitate a safe return to occupation or sport.

The purpose of the RIPPs course is to introduce participants to the following programs:

 

Spinal Region (SR). Designed for testing and retraining thoracolumbar, hip, and top-down knee dysfunctions (i.e. patellofemoral pain syndrome and iliotibial band syndrome);

Upper Region (UR). Designed for testing and retraining cervicothoracic, shoulder and arm dysfunction; and

 

Lower Region (LR). Designed for testing and retraining knee, ankle, and foot dysfunctions.

The Regional Injury Prediction and Prevention course will use theory (30%) and practical (70%) sessions including case studies to teach how to determine risk of injury by region as well as how to train each region to decrease risk of future injury or re-injury.

Dan Trudel Integrated Strength

Hello, I'm Dan Trudel, a seasoned physiotherapist with 21 years of experience. Over the past 8 years, I've had the privilege of integrating the Rehabilitation for Performance (R4P) program into my practice, and the results have been nothing short of extraordinary. R4P/RIPPs isn't your typical rehabilitation program – it's a comprehensive approach that goes beyond just addressing injuries. It's about empowering patients to take control of their health journey and achieve optimal performance. What sets R4P apart is its meticulous focus on tailored exercises and phased regimens, all overseen by trained kinesiologists who understand the intricacies of rehabilitation. Through R4P, I've witnessed remarkable transformations in my patients' recovery journeys. Whether it's building strength, improving flexibility, or enhancing endurance, R4P delivers tangible results that extend far beyond the clinic walls. Patients not only recover from their injuries but emerge stronger and more resilient, ready to take on whatever challenges lie ahead. One of the most rewarding aspects of my work has been witnessing the profound impact of R4P on my patients' lives. From patients striving to return to work to everyday individuals eager to reclaim their active lifestyles, R4P has proven to be a beacon of hope and progress. The program's comprehensive approach not only addresses physical recovery but also fosters a sense of empowerment and resilience that transcends the realm of rehabilitation. With R4P, patients don't just recover – they thrive. If you're ready to embark on a journey towards optimal recovery and performance, I urge you to consider R4P. With its proven track record and holistic approach, R4P offers a pathway to success that is second to none. Trust me, your patients will thank you for it.
