Perfecting the Assessment: Compression Based Orthopedic Tests
Understanding Global Concepts of Testing
Specific types of orthopedic tests utilizing compressive forces to diagnose orthopedic injuries and local stagnations are covered. The students will acquire a broadly utilized skillset and understanding through specific examples and global concepts.
Course Overview
The world of orthopedic assessment can be overwhelming to those attempting to memorize every test for every body region for every condition. While it is important to have a robust knowledge of tests you feel comfortable implementing in the clinic, there are ways to help broadly understand the underlying concepts of orthopedic and muscle testing.
The instructor, Derrick McBride, has organized tests from the entire body into 3 types of tests that can be easily digested and applied to many conditions all over the body. These types of tests include Compression Based Orthopedic Tests, Tension Based Orthopedic Tests, and Force Based Muscle Tests.
In this course, Compression Based Orthopedic Tests, Derrick McBride presents the global concept of applying compression to anatomical tissues for the diagnosis of orthopedic injuries and local stagnation patterns. Specific examples will be used to show the versatility of the concept presented.
Some examples of tests include:
(1) Tendinopathies of the Achilles, patellar tendon, supraspinatus tendon, etc
(2) Bursitis and joint space inflammation
(3) Joint Structures
At the end of the course, the students will feel comfortable with multiple ways of applying compressive forces to anatomical tissues for more specific diagnoses of local stagnation patterns. This is a skill set you don't want to miss out on!
Objectives
-
Understand the principle of applying compressive forces to anatomical tissues for diagnosis of local stagnation.
-
Understand multiple ways of applying compressive force for the different types of anatomical tissues.
-
Be able to utilize specific examples in the clinic right way.
-
Be able to apply the broader concept to other areas that aren't specifically shown.
Outline
0 hrs - 30 min
The first section is an introduction to applying compressive forces and when to use them.
30 min - 1 hrs
Next, we will cover different ways of applying compressive forces depending on the type of anatomy and location of the tissues being targeted.
1 hrs - 2 hrs
Specific examples of easy to implement compression based orthopedic tests will be covered. The student will obtain a library of simple tests that cover multiple parts of the body.
2 hrs - 3 hrs
Specific examples of utilizing the patient's own anatomy to apply compressive forces to specific tissues will be covered. The student will obtain a library of these more complex tests that cover multiple parts of the body.
