ORTHOPAEDIC PHYSICAL THERAPY - MODULE 4: UPPER EXTREMITIES

Course overview

This course utilizes content from the textbook ¿Orthopaedic Physical Therapy¿ Fourth Edition by Robert A. Donatelli, PhD, PT, OCS and William D. Bandy, MS, PT, OCS ¿ 2010, published by Elsevier. Instructional Level: Beginner to Intermediate This text presents the current state of orthopaedic physical therapy practice as it has been influenced by research, advanced education and specialization; emphasizing treatment of the individual, not just the site of the dysfunction. Covering all aspects of orthopaedic physically therapy this text discusses the responses of the body tissues and systems to trauma, immobilization, and movement, and builds the foundation for safe and effective treatment. In addition you will find the relationships and interdependence of anatomy, mechanics and kinesiology thoroughly examined thorough out the text. To better meet your professional needs, this fully illustrated text of 771 pages has been carefully broken down by chapters into 8 modules. Each module approved for either 3, 5, 7 or 10 contact hours of post-graduate continuing education (NOTE: board approvals vary state to state, please check your states approval status in the state specific course catalog by returning to our home page and entering both your state and profession).
