Webinar Title: Get A Grip: Influence of Grip Strength on Function
Presenters: Jim Wagner OTD, OTR/L, CHT, COMT, CSCS
& Amy Brossard, MSOT, OTR/L, CHT
Webinar Description: This webinar takes an in-depth look at the mechanics behind grip strength, the psychosocial implications grip has on overall health, and the impact injury has on function. The presenters willdiscuss a biomechanical approach to understanding grip force production which will enhance clinical knowledge in rehab programming. A case example will be presented to bring together reviewed concepts of grip training for enhanced patient outcomes.
Learning Objectives:
Upon completion of this course, participants will:
- Identify key anatomical intrinsic andextrinsic motor units required for grip force production.
- Illustrate the involvement of wrist mechanoreceptors/proprioception in the role of dynamicstabilization during grip activities.
- Summarize the research link between grip strength and overall quality of health.
- Understand how to initiate programming for grip strength/exercise based a wound healingguidelines.
- Learn how to implement proposed treatment intervention for grip strength based on clinical casestudy.
