This course is for any therapist who wants to review or improve knowledge and diagnosis skills for treatment of the shoulder, wrist, and hand. It is based on two comprehensive chapters (10 & 12) from Orthopaedic Physical Therapy by Robert A. Donatelli and Michael J. Wooden (4th Edition). These chapters, The Shoulder and Dysfunction, Evaluation, and Treatment of the Wrist and Hand, cover a wealth of information on approaches to treatment of shoulder, wrist, and hand conditions, including anatomy and biomechanics, examination techniques, non-operative treatment considerations, post-surgical rehabilitation protocols, and useful case studies.
