Upper Extremity

The data showed that each intervention provided some level of improvement.  But exercise was the most consistently effective option. More specifically, eccentric exercise was the single most effective treatment for all joints in the study

Eccentric work provides unique responses and benefits compared to concentric exercise. This session delves into the science of eccentric exercise and how the Eccentron allows you to offer controlled but targeted isolated eccentric exercise to nearly any client.

CPM is great for working on the Range of Motion in injured joints. But with the added Target Force, you’re also improving neuromuscular control, strength through range, stability, and overall endurance.

The EVJ makes your assessment and data collection better, faster, and easier.  Leave those manual tools in the past and start getting reliable data that saves you time and money with the EVJ.

If you’ve treated patients with patellar tendonitis, then you know the sesamoids in the knee. The smaller sesamoid bones of the hand and feet play a big role in other conditions, but they’re often overlooked. Let’s explore the anatomy, function, and rehab techniques for sesamoid bones.

Can you hand-le this quiz on upper extremity anatomy? Let's find out!

The paper's authors summarized their evidence-based recommendations into a new Clinical Practice Guideline (CPG), which can help healthcare providers and their patients make more well-informed decisions regarding their course of care.

Current research gives specific recommendations for BFR, including cuff width, material and placement, pressure, exercise, and conditions that it benefits. Let’s look at those specifics along with the history, mechanisms, and benefits of BFR.

Even on your busiest day, you can squeeze one of these activities into your schedule. Check out this list of ways you can sneak in some activity throughout your busy day:

Because the Simulator II is so flexible, clinical researchers have found creative ways to use it for diagnosis, evaluation, and treatment. We’re sharing examples of these applications so you can get the most out of your Simulator II.

Faster than you could search it online, this hand-held tool shows you the activated muscle groups, spinal segment, and innervation for 26 different joint-specific movements, both upper and lower extremity.

Exercise and stretching improve mobility and flexibility – not only of the ECRB itself, but of the surrounding areas as well. Therapists should assess the extensor carpi radialis longus, supinator, digital extensors, and other muscles for strengthening and stretching.
