Outline: This workshop outlines the process of clinical reasoning, and applies this to a series of case studies about people who have experienced traumatic hand injuries. Clinical reasoning will be used for each case at different time points during rehabilitation to determine appropriate lines of questioning in history taking, select diagnostic tests, and apply interventions including splinting and exercise. This is a lecture style workshop where participants are encouraged to think through the clinical decision-making process with the presenter. This workshop focuses on responding to changing subjective and objective findings, adjusting intervention and continuing to reassess throughout the course of rehabilitation following traumatic hand injury.

Outline: Brachial plexus 101 for therapists. Adult, traumatic brachial plexus injuries, while not common, do require a strong understanding of anatomy, clinical examination, current surgical reconstruction procedures, and application of clinically sound rehabilitation. This workshop will provide attendees with a brief overview of the guiding principles of managing brachial plexus injuries following common nerve transfer surgeries. It is aimed at clinicians in early- to mid-career or those that don’t often treat brachial plexus injuries that would like some revision of key concepts.
