Frequently asked questions and registration options for the
training seminar Nerve Entrapments of the Upper Extremity
It is often difficult to identify all structures causing upper extremity pain
and dysfunction. Therapists must determine the source of the problem in order to
provide the most effective treatment for the client. Differential diagnosis
methods have become vital in the successful practice of physical and
occupational therapy, among other health care professions. Upper Limb Tension
Testing (ULTT) is one such technique that can be very effective in detecting
upper extremity problems, but it is important to understand how and when to
perform ULTT correctly.
This one-day course provides a comprehensive look at disorders of the upper
extremity, from the cervical spine to the hand, as well as ways to understand
contributing factors to the symptoms. Methods for ruling out cervical symptoms
from other extremity conditions, including degenerative pathologic conditions of
the neck, will be presented. A systematic evaluation with an emphasis on
identifying both musculoskeletal and neurovascular dysfunction with a therapist
scope of practice will be discussed. Participants will examine Upper Limb
Tension Testing and neurodynamics in the development of treatment strategies and
will perform and practice ULTT in a hands-on lab. Conservative treatment tools
for patients having either cervical or upper extremity entrapment syndromes will
also be identified. The information and techniques presented, including Upper
Limb Tension Testing, can be immediately utilized in the clinic.
