Orthopedic and neurological tests are frequently taught in the context of highlighting and eliminating red flags. Beyond that, they are assessment techniques that lead to a better understanding of your patients’ experience. A comprehensive orthopedic and neurological assessment contributes to uncovering the root cause of a patient’s presenting complaint resulting in more effective methods of pain management and targeted rehabilitative exercises.
With the pending regulation of osteopathy and concerns about practitioner competencies, understanding orthopedic and neurological assessment allows for greater interdisciplinary communication and referral, and a place within an integrated healthcare team.
This class won’t teach you thousands of tests that you could easily look up in a book. Instead, it presents a logical framework of questioning and deductive reasoning using diagnostic palpation and the resource base we already have – anatomy, biomechanics and osteopathic philosophy. This big-picture approach can easily be applied to any structure in any patient in the clinical setting.
This is an opportunity to explore these intimidating topics in an intimate setting with lots of one-on-one palpation feedback and support from your peers making it a fun and clinically applicable weekend!
