Hand Rehabilitation: Extensor and Flexor Tendons
Hand Rehabilitation: Extensor and Flexor Tendons is organized by Northeast Seminars.
Description:
This seminar is designed to present the clinician with the basics of tendon management following injury. It will introduce both conservative and post-operative rehab management of flexor and extensor tendon injuries.
Learning Goals:
Upon completion of this class, you should be able to:
• Summarize the nutritional aspects of tendon healing
• Identify the anatomy of the flexor and extensor tendon systems
• Identify protocols for specific tendon injuries including related splints
• Describe how to identify the appropriate timing of the initiation of motion, exercise, and activity
