Susan W. Stralka PT, DPT, MS
Description:
In this exciting 5 contact hour interactive course the clinician will learn ways to evaluate proximal problems that may result in distal symptoms. These evaluation strategies will help determine if the symptoms are distal or if there is a complex of upper quadrant problems such as: neck, shoulder, postural or scapular dysfunction. This course will describe the neural continuum as well as special tests to determine what nerve structure is involved. Emphasis will be placed on understanding and performing upper extremity neurodynamic testing. The student will also be exposed to incorporating both clinical and home treatment strategies. Note: This course provides conceptual preparation to seek additional training, and does not provide you a mentored hands-on skills session. Please seek additional experience, with a mentor, to perform hands-on skills. Upon Successful completion of the examination (75%) your certificate will be sent via email.
Objectives:
- To provide basic information on the
mechanics and physiology of the nervous system which is essential for movement
of the upper extremity
- To provide a basic understanding of
neuroanatomy and neurodynamics as they relate to neuro gliding in the upper
extremity
- To describe the neural continuum and ways
to test the continuum in the upper extremity
- To differentiate between neural and new
neural tissues
- To view the performance of techniques by utilizing
“sliders” or “tensioners” so that movement is created
- To identify anatomical and palpable areas
in the upper extremity so the course of the nerve may be
determined
- To identify the characteristics of pain
mechanism-
- Nociceptive Pain
- Peripheral Neurogenic
- Central
Sensitizations
- To identify the relationship of
neuromusculoskeletal dysfunction in the upper extremity
- Review how to carry out both subjective and physical
neurodynamic test in the upper extremity
- Describe pain syndrome
- Review the relationship between
pain and myofascial trigger points
- Identify points of neuro movement
limitations
- Review the relationship of
neurovascular and musculoskeletal dysfunction so a treatment strategy can be
developed
- Review how to evaluate the subjective examinations and
physical examination to determine an appropriate treatment program for home
use

Reviews
| Ms. Stralka is extremely knowledgeable on this topic! However, at times she was a little hard to understand, as she contradicted herself on several occasions. I learned quite a bit and look forward to reviewing the material several times to really allow it to resonate. It was a tough topic and quite a bit of helpful info was relayed. |

| This course was very thorough, but very dry. The presenter was excellent and well informed. I learned a lot, but think I will choose courses that are broken into shorter segments in the future. |
