This course will utilize case-based instruction to illustrate select conditions of the components of the upper extremity,and theirdetailed, specific biomechanical and neurophysiological assessment. Participants will assemble an all-source evidence-informedapproach to evaluation and management through consideration of normal, abnormal and applied upper extremityanatomy, physiology, biomechanics, and pathology. Coursework will focuson reason-based development of individualized examination sequences aimed at patient/client classification into -managementof an initial diagnosis, progression to a focused regional examination, symptom-based classification groupings, or referral to another health-care provider. Participants will compare the concepts of health, functioning, pain behaviors and their manifestations, and their role in total patient/client management. Procedural interventions will include education, manual therapy techniques, and individualized neuromuscular rehabilitation prescription, with the goal of restoring normal function and preventing disability.Interventions will include thrust joint manipulation.
