In this course we examine the Rotator Cuff and review the importance of medical screening for visceral pathology that may influence the shoulder. Various clinical tests and screening tools are provided to assist you in determining which test is most helpful in determining dysfunction and/or injury. The 2nd part of this course demonstrates shoulder mobilization techniques and Joint Mobilization Evidence. The use of the Mobil-Aider device is demonstrated as a tool for evaluations. Indications, contraindications and dosing is discussed as well.
