2024 Kaleckas Lecture: Advanced Imaging Approaches for Evaluating Patellofemoral Joint Biomechanics.
Date: Monday, March 25, 2024 | 3 p.m. CT | In Person Only
Location: Hughes Auditorium, Robert H. Lurie Medical Research Center, 303 E. Superior Street, Chicago, IL 60611
Please join NUPTHMS for our 15th Annual Kaleckas Lecture and our Synthesis Project Poster Session. This years lecture features Richard Souza, PT, PhD.
Richard Souza, PT, PhD, is the Vice Chair for Research in the Department of Physical Therapy and Rehabilitation Science at the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF). He is a physical therapist and biomechanics researcher with joint appointments in Radiology and Biomedical Imaging and Orthopaedic Surgery at UCSF. He teaches courses on Radiology for the Physical Therapist, Gait Evaluation, and Observational Running Analysis in the UCSF/ SFSU Graduate Program in Physical Therapy. His research interests are focused on the relationships between mechanics of human movement and lower extremity injuries. Much of his research combines advanced quantitative MR imaging and the evaluation of physical activity and loading behaviors. The goal of these studies is to determine the influence of loading mechanics on hip, knee and ankle health and to develop preventative and rehabilitative strategies for debilitating diseases such as osteoarthritis. These research projects are primarily funded by the National Institutes of Health. Souza is also the program director for the PhD program in Rehabilitation Science.

Professor Spittle is the Associate Dean Research in the Faculty of Medicine, Dentistry and Health Sciences at the University of Melbourne, Melbourne, AUS.
Description
At the end of the course participants be required to take a final test in order to receive a certificate of reliability in this method of assessment.
Participants registering for the advanced course must have completed the basic training course prior to attending the advanced course. Advanced course participants will learn more detailed scoring systems and will have the opportunity to review their own recordings with the tutor.
Basic Course Objectives
- Assess typically developing infants using the General Movement Assessment;
- Assess infants with brain lesions using the General Movement Assessment;
- Describe how to incorporate the General Movement Assessment technique into their clinical and research practices;
- Distinguish between typical and atypical general movements in developing infants using the General Movement Assessment.
Advanced Course Objectives
- Assess the components of general movements including speed, amplitude, intensity, and rotations during the preterm and term age.
- Evaluate the individual trajectory of developing infants using the assessment of components of general movements.
- Assess fidgety movements and the concurrent motor repertoire (movements and postures) in 3-5 month old infants.
- Discuss their own diagnosis of developing infants using infant movement assessment illustrated with their own recordings.
