For Course Description and Objectives of the UQ Foundation Webinar Series, go to this page!

Course Description:

This 2-day virtual course describes the systematic examination of the upper extremity with specific focus on the shoulder. Most commonly seen movement system syndromes of the scapula and humerus will be presented. Neuromusculoskeletal adaptations associated with these syndromes and key interventions for each diagnosis will be discussed.

For participants attending an upper quarter movement system syndromes course for the first-time, a pre-requisite for the course is attendance of the webinars that cover the key principles of the kinesiopathologic model. These webinars are presented in April and May 2024. Recordings of the webinars will be available after the live webinar sessions.

Participants will receive guidance on how to integrate test results to determine a movement system diagnosis. Discussion will take place to explain how the diagnosis and examination results provide the guidelines for treatment. Participants will observe live examinations of patients performed by faculty, and engage in analysis of prepared videos with instructors.

Course Objectives:

After completing the course, participants will:

Understand common movement system syndromes of the scapula and humerus
Understand the tests included in the upper extremity systematic examination
Be able to analyze scapular and humeral movements
Be able to integrate test results to come up with a movement system diagnosis
Discuss contributing factors to the movement system syndromes
Identify primary focus of intervention for each syndrome.
