OVERVIEW

Scrape Tape Cup & Glide: Restoring Space Motion & Slack for Restricted Neural Dynamics of the Upper Quarter - NEW is organized by Rehab Education and will be held from Sep 14 - 15, 2019 at New Orleans, Louisiana, United States of America.

The target audience for this medical event is Occupational Therapists, Occupational Therapy Assistants, Physical Therapists, Physical Therapist Assistants, Certified Athletic Trainers, Doctors of Chiropractic. This Conference has been approved for a maximum of 14.00 Contact Hours.

Course Objectives:
At the completion of this course you will be able to:
• Identify 2 main regions of the brachial plexus
• Given a patient scenario in which the patient demonstrates a numb hand, map patients’ symptoms to the brachial plexus
• Identify 2 conditions that increase the potential for nerve injury vulnerability in patients with cervical sprain/strain
• Identify 2 signs and 4 symptoms of brachial plexalgia
• Given a patient with medial/lateral elbow pain, “dead arm” syndrome and SICK scapula syndrome the participant will accurately bias the Brachial Plexus, Radial, Median and Ulnar nerve tissue and nerve bed using novel neural mobility grading scales (0-5)
• Given a case scenario for a patient with lateral epicondylagia generate a treatment plan, including goals and prognosis based on exam results
• Justify based on evidence how basic treatment to restore space, motion, and slack can be integrated into the overall treatment plan for patients with Thoracic Outlet
• Given a patient scenario choose 3 appropriate IASTM treatments to enhance movement and space for movement dysfunctions resulting from restricted neural mobility in a patient with cervical strain
• Choose 3 basic negative pressure soft tissue techniques (cupping) over the nerve bed to enhance space and movement for addressing restricted neural dynamics in patients with shoulder sprain/strain
• Following the course and given a case scenario the participant will integrate cupping and IASTM strokes in a patient with Brachial Plexalgia (left chest wall & facial pain, numbness of the thumb, ring and small finger)
• Choose 2 taping techniques to enhance slack promoting posture correction and inhibition of neuropathic pain for patients with cervical sprain/strain

Additional details will be posted as soon as they are available.
