Upper extremity injuries and impairments can limit the individual’s ability to perform normal daily functional activities.
The care of hand, wrist, and elbow injuries can be a challenge to both the novice and the advanced clinician. A thorough
understanding of the unique relationship between anatomy and biomechanics is necessary to allow the clinician to
design a comprehensive treatment approach that will allow the individual to resume their normal daily
activities in a timely manner.
A practical hands-on approach to solving a variety of hand, wrist, and elbow conditions will be presented. This interactive
course describes common pathologies, mechanisms of injury, and progressive pre and post-operative treatment
involving fractures, sprains/strains and dislocations. Treatment topics include graded motor imagery, exercises, splinting/
positioning, edema, sensibility, ROM, home programs, and the selection of appropriate outcome measures. Participants
will learn new treatment techniques to start using immediately after the course. Patient education handouts for common
upper extremity conditions will also be provided. The workshop has lab time included for provocative testing techniques
and therapeutic taping for the hand, wrist, and elbow.
