Course Description:

Finger fractures and dislocations, often due to sports-related or occupational injuries, are common diagnoses seen in the hand therapy clinic. These injuries can result in stiffness, leading to significant functional impairment. This course will provide a guide to addressing these issues. The first portion of the course will cover the bony and soft-tissue anatomy of the digit, with an emphasis on joint arthrokinematics. For clinical testing, you’ll be provided with a systematic approach to identify your patient’s key impairments. The final portion of the course introduces manual therapy treatment techniques that can be used immediately in the clinic to maximize your patients' outcomes.
