Module 5: Musculoskeletal Disorders: Post-orthopedic Rehabilitation

In terms of upper-extremity injuries, this module covers the following: acromioclavicular joint injuries, shoulder instability, rotator cuff pathology, lateral and medial epicondylitis, and hand and wrist injuries. The following topics are covered in this online course:
