Optimizing Upper Extremity Exercise Interventions: An Evidence-Based Approach

Exercise intervention is an incredibly popular and effective part of physical therapy. Unfortunately, many clinicians use the same exercises repeatedly, even with patients requiring a different approach. This class will increase your understanding of effective upper extremity exercise prescription, as well as provide you with real-life examples to help you choose the appropriate exercise(s) for your patient’s condition and keep their program varied and interesting. 

 

In this 1-day course, we create a framework for exercises that emphasize improving mobility of the UE joints, re-education of stabilizing muscles and progressive overload to restore normal function in your patient. The exercises covered in this course will improve your ability to effectively treat UE conditions and injuries you commonly see in your clinics. 

 

Take your understanding of UE exercise intervention and ability to create effective exercise programs to the next level, giving your patients the care they deserve. This is a lab-based course. Please make sure to wear appropriate attire and keep moving during class!
