Course Description:
This course will outline the anatomy and mechanics of the wrist, with
respect to, distal radial fractures, ulnar-sided wrist pathologies, and instabilities of the wrist. The
attendee will learn how to establish patient value via therapist discussion of anatomy and
pathology and evidence-based treatment.
Objectives:
The learner will…
1. Identify and demonstrate an understanding of key behavior skills requisite in
establishing patient value via discussion of anatomy and pathology.
2. Identify and demonstrate understanding of key technical skills requisite in
establishing patient value via discussion of anatomy and pathology.
3. Demonstrate an advanced understanding of how to blend behavior and technical
skills within a clinical case (distal radius case) to enrich patient value.
4. Discuss distal radius fracture management and anatomical considerations.
5. Explore the functional importance of restoring length and activation of the intrinsic
and extrinsic muscles of the hand.
6. Detail the anatomy, presentation and treatment of ulnar-sided soft tissue
involvement following distal radius fractures.
7. Explore A Model for Understanding and Prioritizing the Treatment of Wrist
Instability Based on Critical Wrist Anatomy (VISI/DISI/CIND).
8. Explore A Model for Understanding the Role of Carpal Mechanics in Carpal
Instability.
