Understanding and Evaluating Ulnar Wrist Pain

Course overview

Ulnar-sided wrist pain is often referred to as a "black box" or the "low back pain of the wrist," due to its being a challenging area with various etiologies. This course is the first in a two-part series and first aims to unpack all of the possible structures for ulnar wrist pathology by fostering a deep understanding of the anatomy and mechanics of the wrist. It then delves into how to complete a thorough wrist examination, including special tests that will enable you to feel confident in identifying the pain generator. The second course in this series tackles interpretation of the exam and discusses treatment. This course is designed for occupational therapists and physical therapists who treat wrist conditions.
