Description: This on-demand course provides Occupational Therapists (OT) and Physical Therapists (PT) with foundational knowledge of the anatomy and kinematics of the wrist, the nature of tissue, the nature of wrist injuries, frameworks, formulas, and how to utilize manual therapy techniques to treat common types of wrist injuries and conditions.
Participants will have lifetime access to course content to continue practicing clinical skills.
Audience:
This course workshop is for OTs, OTAs, PTs, PTAs, and CHTs of all levels who are interested in advancing manual therapy skills for common injuries or conditions of the wrist.
Therapists will receive 4 CEUs upon completion of the course and be able to submit them once.
Learning Objectives:
After the conclusion of this course, participants will:
- Identify relevant functional anatomy, kinematics, and biomechanics that directly relate to addressing the most common wrist injuries and conditions.
- Evaluate all relevant patient history and examination information obtained through clinical testing to formulate a treatment plan.
- Establish a consistent, accurate, and systematic approach to palpating structures critical for manual therapy of the wrist.
- Demonstrate manual therapy techniques addressing joint and soft tissue limitations that are appropriate for the clinical presentation of each patient.
