Joseph Muscolino – COMT Regional 2-Day Upper Extremity Workshop, Sydney, Australia

Description:

[WebRip – 2 MP4]Clinical Orthopedic Manual Therapy (COMT) for the Upper extremity covers the major clinical orthopedic assessment and treatment techniques for the upper extremity. This course is a 2-day hands-on workshop.

Day one begins with palpation assessment and soft tissue manipulation and stretching of the muscles of the shoulder joint complex and the deeper muscles of the anterior forearm. As a part of this, we discuss and workshop guidelines for proper body mechanics when performing soft tissue manipulation of the muscles of the upper extremity; you will learn how the upper extremity can be worked deeply with little effort. We also introduce the technique of pin and stretch. We continue with special orthopedic assessment tests and postural examination for conditions of the upper extremity.

Day two begins with application of the principles of body mechanics and deep pressure soft tissue manipulation to work the muscles of the shoulder girdle. We then begin Arthrofascial Stretching (AFS): Soft Tissue Joint Mobilization for all the joints of the upper extremity. AFS is the only effective means of stretching specific nonaxial hypomobilities of the upper extremity joints. We then conclude the day with advanced neural inhibition stretching techniques, including Contract Relax (PNF/PIR), Agonist Contract (the basis for AIS), and Contract Relax Agonist Contract stretching techniques.

Clinical treatment strategy and planning as well as precautions and contraindications are also covered. These manual therapy skills will empower you to do effective clinical orthopedic work. Throughout this hands-on workshop, Dr. Joe Muscolino reinforces the underlying mechanisms for each of the assessment and treatment techniques, encouraging critical reasoning skills.

Clinical Orthopedic Manual Therapy for the Upper Extremity is part of the COMT Regional Approach Certification. The other hands-on workshops in this series cover the neck, thoracic spine / ribcage, low back / pelvis, and lower extremity.

COURSE objectIVES

After attending this workshop, the participant will be able to:Explain and demonstrate the principles of using core body weight and larger muscle groups for efficient body mechanics.

Perform orthopedic assessment tests for the upper extremity to determine the ability to safely perform deep soft tissue manipulation, stretching, and Arthrofascial Stretching (AFS) – Soft Tissue Joint Mobilization.

Explain the fundamental concepts of stretching and apply these concepts to the musculature of the upper extremity.

Demonstrate how to stretch each of the functional muscle groups of the upper extremity.

Explain and demonstrate how to stretch each of the muscles of the upper extremity in all three cardinal planes.

Explain the physiologic basis for and demonstrate how to perform contract relax (CR; also known as PIR/PNF) stretching, agonist contract (AC) stretching, and contract relax agonist contract (CRAC) stretching techniques.

Explain the physiologic basis for and demonstrate how to perform Arthrofascial Stretching (AFS, Grade IV joint mobilization) of the upper extremity.

More information about Medical:

Medicine is the science and practice of establishing the diagnosis, prognosis, treatment, and prevention of disease.
Medicine encompasses a variety of health care practices evolved to maintain and restore health by the prevention and treatment of illness.

Contemporary medicine applies biomedical sciences, biomedical research, genetics, and medical technology to diagnose, treat, and prevent injury and disease,
typically through pharmaceuticals or surgery, but also through therapies as diverse as psychotherapy, external splints and traction, medical devices, biologics, and ionizing radiation, amongst others.

Medicine has been around for thousands of years, during most of which it was an art (an area of skill and knowledge) frequently having connections to the religious and philosophical beliefs of local culture.

For example, a medicine man would apply herbs and say prayers for healing, or an ancient philosopher and physician would apply bloodletting according to the theories of humorism.
In recent centuries, since the advent of modern science, most medicine has become a combination of art and science (both basic and applied, under the umbrella of medical science).

While stitching technique for sutures is an art learned through practice.

The knowledge of what happens at the cellular and molecular level in the tissues being stitched arises through science.
