The Hand, Wrist & Elbow Complex - Evaluation & Treatment
Seminar Overview
his two-day seminar will present a comprehensive overview of the structural and biomechanical basis of hand, wrist & elbow function and their relationship to the entire upper extremity. This unique approach thoroughly examines the relationship
of these structures to human performance and suggest strategies for functional improvement. Common pathologies, mechanisms of injury, and progressive pre and post-operative treatment involving fractures, RSI/CTDs, tendon/nerve lacerations, arthritis, sprains/strains and dislocations will be covered with strong reference to their impact on function. Treatment topics include splinting/positioning, electrical and thermal modalities, therapeutic activity, pain management, sensibility, ROM, home programs and proper documentation. This seminar will NOT present a 'protocol driven approach' to rehabilitation. Rather, the participant will learn a 'framework' for physical examination that will permit rapid synthesis of findings into a 'dynamic treatment plan' designed to increase patient satisfaction and outcomes. Fee per person: $425; $375 if received 30 days prior to seminar; $325 each for two or more.
Provider: Therapy Network Seminars – $425
Topic(s): Health Care
Who Should Attend?
This is an intermediate level workshop designed for Occupational Therapists, Occupational Therapy Assistants, Physical Therapists, Physical Therapy Assistants, and Certified Athletic Trainers

Detailed Overview/Outline
DESCRIPTION
his two-day seminar will present a comprehensive overview
of the structural and biomechanical basis of hand, wrist &
elbow function and their relationship to the entire upper extremity.
This unique approach thoroughly examines the relationship
of these structures to human performance and suggest
strategies for functional improvement. Common pathologies,
mechanisms of injury, and progressive pre and post-operative
treatment involving fractures, RSI/CTDs, tendon/nerve lacerations,
arthritis, sprains/strains and dislocations will be covered
with strong reference to their impact on function. Treatment
topics include splinting/positioning, electrical and thermal modalities,
, therapeutic activity, pain management, sensibility,
ROM, home programs and proper documentation. This seminar
will NOT present a “protocol driven approach” to rehabilitation.
Rather, the participant will learn a “framework” for
physical examination that will permit rapid synthesis of findings
into a “dynamic treatment plan” designed to increase patient
satisfaction and outcomes. OBJECTIVES
The participant will:
- Demonstrate a working understanding of the
biomechanical systems of the elbow, wrist and hand
and relate this information to functional impairments.
- Demonstrate an appropriate physical examination of
the elbow and wrist.
- Identify sound biologically based treatment plans for
osseous and soft tissue pathologies.
- Identify appropriate splints and positioning devices to
improve upper extremity performance.
- Identify psychosocial assessment techniques and
motivational techniques designed to improve client
compliance with therapy prescription.

10:15 BREAK
10:30 Soft tissue pathologies of the elbow:
- - What you thought
you knew about epicondylitis may just be wrong!

5:30 Questions and Adjourn
DAY TWO
8:00 Functional Anatomy of the Wrist
8:30 Ligament injuries of the wrist
9:30 Osseous injuries of the wrist

mobilization
12:00 Lunch (on your own)
1:00 Rehabilitation of the thumb
1:30 Functional anatomy and biomechanics of the hand
- - Osseous pathology of the hand:
- - Metacarpal fractures, Phalanx fractures: balancing motion
and stability, arthritic issues and hand function: How we
can make a difference in outcome?
2:45 Break
3:00 Soft tissue/neurological pathology of the hand:
- - Can we really treat Carpal Tunnel Syndrome?
- - Clinical tenosynovitis vs RSI: strategies for assessment
and management.
4:00 Lab 3: Hand examination and mobilization
- Section A: Using the history to frame the evaluation
and improve client motivation
- Section B: Examination and mobilization of the hand.
5:00 Questions and Adjourn AUDIENCE
This is an intermediate level workshop designed for
Occupational Therapists, Occupational Therapy
Assistants, Physical Therapists, Physical Therapy
Assistants, and Certified Athletic Trainers.
Quote From Past Participants:
“EXCELLENT!! ...I loved the interactive slides, hands-on
labs and Paul’s down to earth approach and humor. These 2
days flew by. –thank you”
“Paul is an excellent presenter who makes an incredible
amount of information available and accessible in a concise
and non threatening manner. I did not feel overwhelmed at
any time.”
“...BEST cont. ed course I’ve been to in 15 years.”
“I really got my monies worth and then some”
“...Paul really showed the relationship of the joint strutures
& how they affect evaluations and treatments.”
