Course Description
(Course is open to PT and OT.) The 2 Day Wrist-Level II course further advances your clinical skills in joint-specific techniques for the columns of the wrist, clinical treatment of wrist instability, and the management of nerve entrapment syndromes about the wrist and hand. Continue your journey to applying the systematic approach introduced in the Wrist-Level I course and advance your manual therapy techniques to enhance your practice today! Prerequisite: Wrist-Level I
Course Objectives
- Further exploration 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 post-surgical instability diagnoses.
- Perform specific testing and treatment techniques to identify and address nerve compressions at the wrist and forearm level.
