Mulligan Concept: Hand, Wrist, and Elbow
Mulligan Concept: Hand, Wrist, and Elbow is organized by Northeast Seminars.
Description:
This is a presentation of Brian Mulligan's Mobilization with Movement (MWM) approach to musculoskeletal problems in the hand, wrist, forearm, and elbow. These manual therapy treatment techniques will be described and demonstrated by Brian Mulligan with Don Reordan and Julie Paolino of the Mulligan Concept Teachers Association.
The course includes examples of MWM for differential diagnosis as well as treatment, home exercise techniques, and taping. It covers possible treatment interventions for loss of the finger, wrist, or elbow motion, loss of supination/pronation, and lateral elbow pain with gripping or wrist extension (tennis elbow).
The guidelines and indications necessary to apply the techniques are presented in a verbal and visual format. The intended result is the immediate enhancement of assessment and treatment skills applicable to the upper extremity joints utilizing Mobilization with Movement techniques.
Learning Goals:
Upon completion of this class, you should be able to:
• Upon completion of this course, the participant will be able to explain 3 contra-indications for an MWM in a patient with extremity pain.
• Upon completion of this course, the participant will be able to design a protocol utilizing an MWM with proper handling technique, for a patient with pain and loss of motion in a PIP joint.
• Upon completion of this course, the participant will be able to develop a treatment plan using an MWM for a patient with scaphoid pain during wrist extension or flexion.
