This 3-week interactive on-line course will study the anatomy and pathology of the shoulder girdle as it applies to rehabilitation of the upper extremity.  Shoulder anatomy will be reviewed from a clinical perspective.  Directed readings from textbooks and journal articles will support an on-line discussion regarding the shoulder and common pathologies.
Some specific concepts to be discussed include…

• The crucial role of the rotator cuff muscles in the function of the shoulder complex function
• What happens when the rotator cuff muscles are not functioning correctly
• ACJ and sub acromial space variations and their implications for function

Program subject to change. Participants are cautioned to apply new information and skills within the scope of state licensure law.
