Foundational Science of the Upper Extremity: An Anatomy and Kinesiology Review
A working knowledge of the anatomy and kinesiology of the upper extremity provides a solid foundation for therapeutic evaluation and intervention. Using virtual lecture and cadaver sessions, these sessions will review the anatomy and biomechanics of each joint, examine the brachial plexus and innervation patterns of the arm and hand, and allow for observation of a virtual guided prosection using upper quarter cadaveric specimens.
- Cadaver Demonstrations
- Brachial Plexus and Upper Extremity Innervations
- Anatomy & Kinesioogy of the Elbow and Shoulder
- Anatomy & Kinesioogy of the Forearm and Wrist

Comprehensive Survey of Hand Therapy
These sessions are designed to provide a comprehensive review of the evaluation and intervention processes pursued for typical diagnoses in upper extremity rehabilitation.
