Diagnosis: Wrist Tendonitis/ Shoulder and Upper Back Pain, NOS
"I learned different tips and tricks associated with assessing and treating a person with this diagnosis (one of my level II fieldwork experiences was in hand therapy)."--MSOT Student
"After going through this case I feel much more comfortable with assessing and screening for nerve impairments."--MSOT Student
"I learned about a variety of tests to evaluate for carpal tunnel, thoracic outlet syndrome, arthritis, and nerve impingements. This was a great overview of an UE evaluation, treatment plan, and clinical observation/skills. I learned a lot and feel more confident diving into UE issues. It appears there is a lot to learn in this area that can impact many."--MSOT Student
By the end of this self-paced course, the learner will demonstrate foundational understanding of outpatient orthopedic evaluations and interventions.
