LIVE EVENT - Perfecting the Assessment: Force Based Muscle Tests
by Derrick McBride
A muscle testing course to create context for diagnosing orthopedic injuries and local stagnations. The students will acquire a broadly utilized skillset and understanding through specific examples and global concepts.
LIVE EVENT - Perfecting the Assessment: Force Based Muscle Tests
Course Overview
This is a Live Webinar event that will be held on October 28, 2024 - 12pm PDT, 3pm EDT, 4pm BRT, 7pm GMT, 8pm CET, 12:30am IST, 6am AEDT, 8am NZDT.The world of orthopedic assessment can be overwhelming to those attempting to memorize every test for every body region for every condition. While it is important to have a robust knowledge of tests you feel comfortable implementing in the clinic, there are ways to help broadly understand the underlying concepts of orthopedic and muscle testing.
The instructor, Derrick McBride, has organized tests from the entire body into 3 types of tests that can be easily digested and applied to many conditions all over the body. These types of tests include Compression Based Orthopedic Tests, Tension Based Orthopedic Tests, and Force Based Muscle Tests.
In this course, Force Based Muscle Tests, Derrick McBride presents the global concept of applying force to anatomical tissues for the diagnosis of orthopedic injuries and local stagnation patterns. Specific examples will be used to show the versatility of the concept presented.
Some examples of tests include:
(1) Differentiating Hip Abductors such as Gluteus Medius, Gluteus Minimus, and Tensor Fascia Latae
(2) Differentiating Hip Adductors such as Adductor Longus, Adductor Magnus, and Gracilis
(3) Trunk Stabilizers commonly involved in Low Back Pain
At the end of the course, the students will feel comfortable with multiple ways of applying force to muscles for more specific diagnoses of local stagnation patterns. This is a skill set you don't want to miss out on!
The recordings will be made available for you to review after the event!
Course Objectives
- Understand the principle of applying force to muscles for diagnosis of local stagnation.
- Understand how specific angles when applying force to muscles help differentiate muscle involvement.
- Understand the possible positive tests associated with muscle testing.
- Be able to utilize specific examples in the clinic right way.
- Be able to apply the broader concept to other areas that aren't specifically shown.
Course Outline
October 28, 2024 - 12pm PDT, 3pm EDT, 4pm BRT, 7pm GMT, 8pm CET, 12:30am IST, 6am AEDT, 8am NZDT (3 hrs)Introduction to performing muscle testing. Clinical context and history of muscle testing is covered.Specific muscle tests showing pain and noticable weakness.Specific muscle tests showing relative weakness, delayed muscle firing, and teasing out pain in specific fibers.Specifit muscle and orthopedic tests to show the utilization of multiple types of test to solidfy and diagnosis.
