This workshop is intended for occupational therapists and physical therapists who work in the clinical specialty area of hand and upper extremity rehabilitation. By the end of the workshop, participants will have a deeper understanding of upper extremity anatomy, be able to identify anatomical structures using cadaveric pro-sections, and apply this knowledge to common upper extremity conditions encountered in clinical practice.
A list of the structures to be identified will be sent to participants prior to the lab and a lab checklist will be provided on site.
