Treating Tendonitis in the Upper Extremity (Jun 15, 2024)
Treating Tendonitis in the Upper Extremity is organized by Rehab Education and will be held on Jun 15, 2024.
Description:
Learn new techniques that can be used to treat pain conditions in the upper extremity. Includes extensive patient demonstrations to present the concepts of muscle imbalance and alignment. Focus on the agonist/antagonist muscle relationship, joint kinematics with movement as well as compensation movement patterns. Learn to recognize which muscles are “under functioning “and which are “over-functioning”. Explore techniques on how to improve joint ROM, eliminate pain and sensitivity, and restore balance to the upper extremity. Joint mobilization and taping applications will clearly demonstrate muscle imbalance. Current research will be included to support these concepts.
Objectives:
By the end of this course, participants will:
• Identify 3 Movement With Motion (MWM) joint glides for a patient with shoulder tendonitis pain.
• List 2 Agonist and Antagonist muscle relationships in a patient with Elbow Tendonitis
• Independently create a treatment plan that includes 2 manual joint corrections for a patient with thumb pain
• Independently create a treatment plan including 2 taping techniques for a patient with ECU Tendonitis
• Explain how joint alignment and muscle imbalance influence a patient with finger pain
• Independently develop a treatment plan that incorporates taping, cupping, and IASTM strokes for a patient with wrist tendonitis
