Cadaver Lab on Brachial Plexus Injuries: Anatomy, Physiology and Management from a Rehabilitation Standpoint
This course is focused on cadaver demonstration and dissection. The brachial plexus is directly related to upper extremity function. Damage to this system is associated with significant disability. However, its complex anatomy and physiology make it a challenge to evaluate in the rehabilitation clinic. This course will set the foundations for evaluation and guide clinicians to perform a thorough yet concise upper extremity evaluation in the setting of nerve damage and improve understanding of evidence-based interventions.
