Rehabilitation of the Cervical Spine and Shoulder with Emphasis on Scapular Dysfunction

 

Logo Arcadia Univerity

Phil McClure, author of numerous studies on clinical biomechanics of the cervical spine and of the shoulder, he also serves on the editorial board of the Journal of Hand Therapy and is a manuscript reviewer for several journals including Physical Therapy, Journal of Orthopaedic and Sports Physical Therapy, and the Journal of the American Medical Association, comes to Italy for the first time.

The main objectives of the course will be to: understand the biomechanics of the shoulder girdle with particular emphasis on recent findings related to the glenohumeral and scapulothoracic articulations; understand selected methods of identifying and classifying scapular dysfunction and its relationship to shoulder pathology, the various mechanisms associated with glenohumeral capsular pathology and be aware of the evidence related to treatment strategies.  Understand and interpret, based on current evidence, special tests designed to detect pathology of the rotator cuff, labrum, glenohumeral capsule and brachial plexus.  During the course, we’ll also look at key anatomical and biomechanical features that will help us recognize and classify cervical spine disorders so as to be able to match treatment strategies to classification schemes, as well as observe selected manual techniques designed to improve joint and neural tissue mobility.
