Loading...

Course Description

This course features cadaver demonstration and dissection to help clinicians better understand the brachial plexus and its role in upper extremity function.   

Because this complex nerve network plays such an important part in arm and hand movement, injuries can lead to significant challenges for patients and can be difficult to assess in the rehabilitation setting. Through guided exploration and discussion, course participants will build a foundation for evaluating upper extremity nerve injuries and learn evidence-based strategies to support effective treatment.
