Midcarpal Instability: From Testing to Treatment (Recorded Webinar)

Course overview

What is one of the most challenging wrist conditions we see in the hand therapy clinic? Is it a patient with a crush injury involving multiple fractures and tendon lacerations, or is it the young girl involved in gymnastics who presents with progressive onset of wrist pain? Wrist instability can be a difficult condition to treat. This webinar will be covering the intricate mechanics of midcarpal instability and the two types of clinical presentations: midcarpal VISI (volar intercalated segmental instability) and the less common midcarpal DISI (dorsal intercalated segmental instability). Clinical testing for each of these conditions will be covered as well as evidence-supported treatment interventions including orthotic management, muscular engagement, and the progression with proprioceptive training. Develop tools to systematically address midcarpal instability that you can readily apply in the clinic.
