The amount of 160€ must be prepaid for the finalization of the participation.

The remaining amount of 200€ must be deposited at least two days before the start of the seminar.

Enhance your understanding of the complex interaction between the hand and the radioulnar joint through this practice-oriented module.
Discover how applied biomechanics and arthrokinematic models are used purposefully for the assessment and treatment of the wrist.
Learn the systematic functional examination of the wrist and how to interpret the findings accurately.
Gain sound theoretical and practical knowledge of instability tests.
Manual therapy techniques for the distal radioulnar joint, radiocarpal joint, and the carpal complex form a central part of the seminar.
Common pathologies such as tendovaginitis and ganglia are discussed in depth and linked to practical treatment concepts.
Introductory units on the physiology and pathophysiology of pain broaden your clinical understanding.
In addition, the role of the autonomic nervous system in upper extremity disorders is examined.

Content:
• Applied biomechanics – significance of arthrokinematic models of the wrist for assessment and therapy
• Functional examination of the wrist and interpretation of results
• Wrist instability tests (theory and practice)
• Manual therapy techniques for the distal radioulnar joint, radiocarpal joint, and carpal complex
• Common wrist pathologies (e.g., tendovaginitis, ganglia)
• Introduction to general physiology and pathophysiology of pain
• Role of the autonomic nervous system in upper limb pathologies
• Autonomic (vegetative) assessment and therapeutic approaches for the thoracic spine
• Introduction to trophic treatment techniques and thermal applications (theory and practice)

Learning Objectives:
• Apply biomechanical knowledge of the radioulnar and wrist joints in assessment and therapy
• Perform process- and goal-oriented assessment, interpret findings, and independently design treatment plans
• Develop and apply treatment models for various disorders of the hand and radioulnar joint
• Acquire knowledge of the general physiology and pathophysiology of pain
• Understand the mechanisms of segmental and trophic therapeutic techniques
• Gain knowledge of autonomic diagnostic and therapeutic methods
