Upper Extremity Nerve Entrapments & Neurodynamics

Physical and occupational therapists commonly evaluate and treat patients with upper quarter neuromusculoskeletal pathologies. This course will provide attendees with a thorough review of the neuroanatomy and common entrapment sites of the three main upper extremity nerves (median, radial, ulnar). In addition, evidence-based interventions will be introduced and discussed to facilitatepatient management skills. Current evidence will be synthesized to give attendees guidance on effective upper quarter neurodynamic examination and intervention strategies.

Highlights

• Practical assessment and intervention strategies for neurodynamic conditions of the upperextremity
• Effective therapeutic management strategies ofthe three main upper extremity nerves and their terminal branches

Target Audience: Physical Therapists, Physical Therapist Assistants, Occupational Therapists, Occupational Therapy Assistants, Athletic Trainers
