SEMINAR DETAILS

Course Description

This course is for U.S. Attendees ONLY!

This course offers a brief review of the basic taping and assessment concepts learned in the first 2 day course. Advanced taping techniques and assessments are presented as Lecture Tutorials to introduce step by step applications for chronic edema, scar and fascial management, nerve taping as well as acute and chronic pain management. Participants will be offered ample lab time to practice each advanced technique guided by the Assessment Flowchart for clinical decision making. Case studies are presented for designing a clinically relevant application within a treatment program guided by the instructor. Case studies are then introduced for small groups of students to practice the variety of assessment techniques and advanced taping applications.

KT4 Hand is an 8 hour advanced seminar appropriate for practitioners who treat upper extremity/hand problems. Participants will have completed Kinesio University approved Day 1&2 and Day 3 seminars prior to enrolling in KT4 Hand. In this seminar we will explore common diagnoses seen in the hand clinic and present suggested taping techniques for them. The seminar will utilize lecture, lab, and case studies to demonstrate appropriate taping techniques. Assessment of the diagnoses presented will help the student to apply similar techniques to any indicated problem they should encounter in the clinic. According to the acuity of injury, we will utilize techniques to target the most superficial tissues to the deepest. In addition we will also encourage problem solving by the students to enhance the learning process.
