Distinguished Faculty:
Guest Speaker:
Dr. Rafael Escamilla is currently Associate Professor
of Physical Therapy in the Department of Physical Therapy at California
State University, Sacramento. Rafael served as a Research Professor in
the Division of Orthopaedic Surgery at Duke University Medical Center,
and Director of the Michael W. Krzyzewski Human Performance Laboratory.
He was a research biomechanist at the American Sports Medicine Institute,
and specialized in the overhand throwing athlete. Rafael received a B.S.
Degree in Mathematics and Physical Education from Linfield College, a
M.S. Degree in Biomechanics from Washington State University, a Ph.D.
Degree in Biomechanics from Auburn University, and a Master of Physical
Therapy degree from Elon University. He received his Strength and Conditioning
Specialist (C.S.C.S.) certification from the National Strength and Conditioning
Association. His area of expertise is in Sports Medicine and Sports Biomechanics.
Rafael has published over 50 scientific papers and abstracts in peer reviewed
journals, and has given approximately 100 professional presentations in
the areas of knee biomechanics during rehabilitation exercises, baseball
and football throwing biomechanics, biomechanics of powerlifting and weight
training exercises, and strength and conditioning. He has received research
medical grants to attend and conduct research in baseball and tennis during
the past two summer Olympics in Atlanta, GA and Sydney, Australia. Rafael
has won three national and international powerlifting championships.

CD-ROM Course Description:
 This
comprehensive CD-ROM presents knee force data while performing lower
extremity exercises in order to better understand how ACL/PCL tensile
loads and patellofemoral compressive loads vary as a function of knee
angle, load lifted, and exercise technique variation. Electromyographic
(EMG) data is also presented while performing lower extremity exercises
in order to better understand how different exercises affect muscle
recruitment patterns throughout varying ranges of knee flexion motion.
Implications for ACL and patellofemoral rehabilitation are discussed,
as are principles and techniques of plyometric training. Program includes
a comprehensive discussion of surgical and non-surgical approaches to
meniscal and chondral injuries.
A special hands-on video presentation by Bob Cooley on Resistance Flexibility
and Strength Training highlights the dramatic increases in flexibility
and muscle shortening that can be achieved through additional resistance
loading during eccentric contractions. He demonstrates how these increases
translate into significant improvements in speed, power, and acceleration.
Learning Objectives:
Following completion of this CD-ROM course, the viewer will be able
to:
- Describe how ACL/PCL tensile forces, patellofemoral compressive
forces, and lower extremity muscle activity vary as a function of
knee flexion angle among common lower extremity rehabilitation exercises.
- Understand anatomy, biomechanics, function, evaluation, and treatment
of meniscal injuries.
- Describe meniscal injuries, how they occur, and non-operative and
operative protocols used in the rehabilitation of these injuries.
- Describe specific implications involved in ACL rehabilitation.
- Understand the rapid increases in flexibility that results from
RFST (Resistance Flexibility and Strength Training).
- Describe how plyometric training can be used effectively in knee
rehabilitation.
- Identify practical and innovative approaches in the management
of patients with patellofemoral pain.
