FNOR 3: Rehabilitation of Upper Quarter & Cervical Conditions
By: National University of Health Sciences

Course Description

Course Description This course provides an up-to-date, integrative approach to rehabilitation of the upper quarter and cervical spine. The course also includes an introduction to head injury and the relationship between cervico-vestibular system and head injury. This course will also cover rehabilitation of the systems of balance and oculomotor function in the context of complex, multi-system injury presentations. Presented are efficient approaches, based on current evidence and emerging concepts in neurorehabilitation and integrative, physical medicine, to leverage neural plasticity to drive sensorimotor adaptation and recovery from shoulder girdle, cervical spine and presentations of central disorders. The systematic approach that is presented can be applied to a range of contexts, including acute injury to chronic, complex, treatment-resistant presentations. Learning Objectives Arthrokinematics of the Upper Quarter: Normal Arthrokinematics of the Shoulder. An evolutionary perspective on the development of the human shoulder and its role in shoulder and CNS compromise. Functional relationship between cervical spine and shoulder complex.
