Management Principles and Personal Injury and Forensic DocumentationPortland Module 2 - May 18-19 Sheraton Portland Airport Hotel 8235 NE Airport Way Portland, OR 97220 (503) 281-2500 $119 SRISD group rate (book 2 weeks in advance to receive) Free airport shuttle SRISD Seminar Hours : Saturday 10:00am - 5:00pm; Sunday 8:00am - 1:00pm In-depth training on all aspects of management of trauma, from beginning to end; a comprehensive primer on crash reconstruction. Auto crash reconstruction in low speed crashes: critical knowledge for today's forensic practitioners Historical documentation in personal injury and forensic medicine applications Comprehensive physical examination of whiplash and traumatic brain injury Special laboratory methods, such as the S-100 protein The latest radiographic examination methods and analysis techniques CT examination of brain and soft tissue injuries MRI examination of brain and soft tissue injuries; latest techniques Special diagnostic imaging modalities (SPECT, PET, fMRI, MRA, VF, etc.); how and when to use Electrodiagnostics (EMG, sEMG, SSEP, VEP, etc); how and when to use Rendering a diagnosis/impression in the personal injury or forensic setting; pearls and pitfalls Soft tissue healing times and implications for successful case management The state of the injury and implications for case management Designing a treatment plan and living with guidelines Important applications of activities of daily living; optimizing outcomes Chiropractic manipulation, deep tissue massage, and PT Modalities for best outcomes Dr. Croft, a graduate of the prestigious Northwestern University's Traffic Institute's comprehensive program on accident reconstruction, teaches physicians the essentials of reconstruction of low speed rear impact crashes (LOSRIC). Very few of the current schools of accident reconstruction do justice to this subject. He'll teach the most sophisticated and accurate methods currently available and, perhaps just as importantly, the limitations of reconstruction in this special area of low speed crash. He'll cover Newton's laws of motion, vehicle dynamics, conservation of linear momentum methods, restitution and energy methods, barrier equivalent methods, computer methods, and the practical application of those laws to the understanding vehicle dynamics and occupant kinematics. Dr. Croft will also discuss the application of data retrieved from event data recorders (ERD)the vehicle's on-board black boxand his own research from years of crash testing. He will also go beyond classical reconstruction and correlate these reconstructions with occupant kinematics and known risk factors: a dimension in which classically-trained accident reconstructionists, biomechanists, and engineers are not trained. With a good comprehension of the principles taught in this section, along with the risk factor analysis material and other information presented in Module 1, physicians will have the necessary intellectual tools to assess the relative validity and credibility of most reconstructions and biomechanical analyses pertaining to LOSRIC. A final section critically examines the uncertainty of LOSRIC reconstruction and presents both mathematical (log-differential) and practical ways of assessing the reliability and validity of these reconstructions based on the data from which they were constructed.
