Evaluation of Shoulder Impingement

Course overview

Do you get referrals for patients with the diagnosis of shoulder pain/impingement? Do you notice in your practice treating the UE that after prolonged nonuse of the upper extremity due to an elbow/wrist/hand injury, shoulder pain starts when your patient starts using the UE again? Do you wonder what is the current evidence available for evaluating these patients? Recent biomechanical considerations will be discussed when rehabilitating patients with impingement. Evaluation techniques will be reviewed and demonstrated to allow you to effectively gather the information needed to create an effective treatment plan to return your patient to their ADLs.
