Systematic Evaluation and Treatment of the Wrist II (Aug 09 - 10, 2025)

Systematic Evaluation and Treatment of the Wrist II is organized by International Academy of Orthopedic Medicine - US (IAOM) and will be held from Aug 09 - 10, 2025 at Axis Hand and Physical Therapy, North Charleston, South Carolina, United States of America.

Description:
This course advances therapists through a systematic approach and progression to evaluating and treating joint and soft tissue disorders of the wrist and forearm. This course will help you develop to further explore of the carpal kinetics and kinematics to enhance understanding of carpal instability. Also, the participants will develop an understanding of the classification criteria of instability and how they complement each other to form a more complete picture.

Objectives and Goals:
Through a combination of lecture and lab, participants will.…

• Formulate how carpal kinetics and kinematics can contribute to carpal instability.
• Through the use of surface anatomy, identify key bony and soft tissue structures at the wrist needed for testing and treatment of wrist instability.
• Explain the classification criteria of instability and Formulate how they complement each other to form a more complete picture.
• Perform specific manual therapy testing techniques to identify and treat limitations at the radiocarpal, midcarpal, and specific carpal joints.
• Categorize the different surgical techniques to address dissociative and non-dissociative carpal instabilities.
• Select and Combine the appropriate therapeutic management and precautions of non-surgical and post-surgical instability diagnoses.
• Perform specific testing and treatment techniques to identify and address nerve compressions at the wrist.
