The Complete and Advanced Upper Quadrant

Online registrations have now closed. Please contact the APA to manually register.

Course: The Complete Upper Quadrant

This course encompasses the differential diagnosis, assessment and management of the cervical spine and shoulder. It aims to integrate research evidence with best clinical practice and is designed to improve participants' ability to differentially diagnose contributing mechanisms and impairments in patients presenting with pain in the upper quadrant, with consideration of cervical, neural and shoulder structures. A broader range of clinical examination techniques and advanced clinical reasoning and management options will be covered.

Presenters: Trudy Rebbeck FACP; Mary Magarey FACP; Robert Boland FACP and Mike Ryan FACP


Times: Day 1: 8:45 am–5:00 pm, Day 2-3: 9.00 am-5.00 pm



Learning outcomes

Participants can expect to:

· Improve their skills and competence in the assessment of the cervical spine with emphasis on the assessment of pain from cervical musculoskeletal (articular and motor) structures

· Improve their skills and differential diagnosis for the assessment of upper limb neurological conduction deficit and mechanosensitivity in the patient with neurally mediated pain

· Improve their ability to accurately establish whether the shoulder primarily contributes to a patient's presentation, including consideration of the sources of pain within the gleno-humeral joint, subacromial space and acromioclavicular joint, rotator cuff control and scapular dyskinesia.

· discuss and integrate the principles of contemporary pain management for upper quadrant disorders

Complex cases are used to illustrate the clinical reasoning processed that determine whether the primary pain contribution is cervical, shoulder or neuromeningeal in origin.
