This course is an in-depth look at how to effectively assess the upper extremity of the body for orthopedic conditions. It will cover all aspects of assessment including history, observation, range of motion, special eests, and examination/palpation. This course will help you gain the skills to help your patients by more accurately targeting your treatment to their actual issues. If you've ever wondered how to differentiate between a labral tear, an inflamed bursa, and a rotator cuff tear, this course is for you. If you are not assessing, you are guessing.
