Hand & UE : Systematic Evaluation and Treatment of the Wrist 2 Green Bay WI Jan 2021

Beyond Manual Therapy Courses

14.5 Contact Hours / 11 Procert CCUs – Instructor-led Training This course will address:

understanding the complexity of various types of wrist instability, both within the proximal row as well as the midcarpal joint. Up-to-date research regarding our understanding of this complexity issue
surface anatomy: carpals and wrist flexors & extensors
quick review of row techniques; joint specific treatment: midcarpal manipulation techniques
conservative management of pre-dynamic wrist instability
surgical management of wrist instability with clinical pearls for rehabilitation
nerve entrapments of the wrist with neural flossing

Further explore of the carpal kinetics and kinematics to enhance understanding of carpal instability.
Through the use of surface anatomy, identify key bony and soft tissue structures at the wrist needed for testing and treatment of wrist instability.
Develop an understanding of the classification criteria of instability and how they complement each other to form a more complete picture.
Perform specific manual therapy testing techniques to identify and treat limitations at the radiocarpal, midcarpal, and specific carpal joints.
Develop an understanding of the different surgical techniques to address carpal instabilities as well as TFCC and DRUJ instabilities.
Identify appropriate therapeutic management and precautions of non surgical and postsurgical instability diagnoses.
Perform specific testing and treatment techniques to identify and address nerve compressions at the wrist and forearm level.
