Management of Common Conditions 204

Course overview

*Recognize cervical disc signs and symptoms. *Differentiate disc prolapse from disc extrusion. *Identify anatomical structures related to cervical disc conditions. *Describe neuro-muscular physiology as it relates to disc injuries. *Determine appropriate exam procedures for diagnosing disc conditions. *Assess static range of motion coupled with cross-plane evaluation. *Analyze dynamic joint motion using outcome-based assessment tools. *Interpret manual muscle testing using eccentric break testing protocols. *Develop muscle palpation skills and grade muscle tonicity. *Interpret neurological tests to determine levels of disc involvement. *Design treatment plans based on exam findings. *Apply manual manipulation techniques to address the cervical joint lesions. *Demonstrate manual methods to reduce cervical muscular dysfunction. *Create new muscle memory patterns to correct chronic conditions. *Compare pre- and post-treatment findings to support care plans.
