Understanding and Treating Peripheral Nerve Entrapments

Course overview

Nerve entrapments of the upper extremity are common in sports and typically related to excessive traction around a joint, as in throwing, which in turn leads to compression, inflammation and adhesions from repetitive stress. The main nerve entrapments in the upper extremity involve the median, ulnar, radial and musculocutaneous nerves. This course teaches how to assess and treat the common types of peripheral nerve entrapment, including "pseudo entrapments" and is supported with fully illustrated course notes and detailed video tutorials from Stuart Hinds.
