Course Overview
Bridge the gap between academic theory and Monday morning practice. This course emphasizes clinical reasoning and decision-making for complex upper extremity conditions through real-world patient scenarios drawn from 39 years of clinical experience—not textbook theory, but trench-tested protocols refined across thousands of patient encounters.
Clinical Outcomes: Monday Morning Value
The Clinical Audit Process (CAP)
Upper extremity neurodynamics serve as a powerful "Clinical Audit" tool. By testing nerve tension pre- and post-adjustment, you provide immediate proof of progress to the patient while building objective documentation for medical necessity.
Clinical Pearls
- The Shoulder Trap
- Differentiating true subacromial impingement from C5/C6 radicular referral. Learn the three-test sequence that separates mechanical pain in under 60 seconds.
- The Elbow/Wrist Connection
- Identify specific palpation points and provocative maneuvers that expose Radial Tunnel Syndrome mimicking "tennis elbow."
