Orthopedic Management of the Neurologically Involved ShoulderNorth American Seminars Course OutlineNorth American Seminars presents this two-day intermediate level shoulder course which provides a thorough analysis of evaluation and treatment of the neurologically involved shoulder. The concepts and principles demonstrated in this course enhance both the clinician’s knowledge base and hands-on skills. This course enables the clinician to identify impairments in alignment, movement patterns, musculoskeletal dysfunctions and potential pain producers. Course instruction is enhanced by hands-on practice of the treatment approaches for soft tissue, joint and neural mobilization techniques, and taping techniques. The mobilization techniques instructed include concepts based on neural mobilization, NDT techniques, mobilization with movement, and soft tissue mobilization. These techniques can also be applied to a multitude of impairments such as CVA, spinal cord, traumatic brain injury, peripheral nerve injuries as well as orthopedic pathologies and status post surgeries. Lab exercises and case studies also demonstrate the utilization of the Disablement Model, particularly the Nagi Scheme. The interactive lecture and laboratory sessions prepare the medical professional to identify effective rehabilitation procedures for safe therapeutic management. The incorporation of physiological and accessory movement and the unique combination of the techniques used for treatment in this class ultimately result in increased range of motion and overall achievement of positive functional outcomes. This course material assists the clinician in becoming more efficient with diagnosing, documenting, communicating and progressing the patient to a more functional level. Clinicians can immediately apply this information to develop comprehensive evaluation and treatment programs for the neurologically involved shoulder. This course is applicable for physical therapy and occupational therapy professionals as well as athletic trainers North American Seminars Course Objectives• Properly evaluate and develop appropriate treatment

of Dr. Contryman’s background. Her expertise includes all forms
of orthopedic and neurological diagnoses including traumatic head injuries,
cerebral vascular accidents, pathological conditions, orthopedic insults,
and postsurgical care. Presently, Dr. Contryman owns Blue Ridge Physical
