Course Description:

Distal radius fractures are a commonly seen diagnosis and account for 14% of all fractures. Women over the age of 65 who fracture their wrist are approximately 50% more likely to experience a clinically important functional decline compared to women without a wrist fracture. This course will provide the rehabilitation professional with an understanding of the complex anatomical relationships that exist in the wrist. The participant will also gain understanding regarding the predictors that may contribute to poor outcomes. Join Dr. Kristin Valdes as she explains how to appropriately provide therapy and assessment following wrist fracture with consideration for the anatomy and current evidence. Through expressive motion graphics, detailed supplementary materials, and a thorough, engaging lecture, this course prepares the participant to approach therapy and assessment through evidence-based strategies.
