“The incredible Extensors & Flexors of the Hand- A Cadaveric Journey of Anatomy”

A Two-part Series. 

A total of 3 hours of Continuing Education credits

The Extensor System of the Hand – Part 1 – January 9th, 2020

The Flexor System of the Hand – Part 2 – January 23^th,2020

3.oo pm – 4.30 pm (EST)

Please join Shrikant J. Chinchalkar, OTR., CHT and Dr. Christine Nicholas, MD., FRCSC  for two part series hours of detailed cadaveric study of the anatomy of the extensor apparatus, interossei, lumbricals and flexor system of the hand. Portions of this presentation have been presented at many national and international conferences including ASHT annual meetings.

Course Description:  

This two-part webinar will demonstrate intricate relationship of various extensor structures that form the extensor apparatus, and the flexor system of the hand. The cadaver dissection is performed on the fresh frozen cadaver.  Cadaveric Close-Up Videos reflect the details, which has never been shown before. This two-part series is open to all the professional practising hand therapy and hand surgery.

Objectives: 

• To demonstrate the anatomy and function of various structures that forms the extensor apparatus and the flexor system
• To demonstrate intricate relationship and functioning of each ligamentous and tendinous structures which contributes to extension and flexion of the digits
• To discuss pathomechanics as a result dysfunction of one and its effect on various other flexor and extensor structures during motion
• To discuss the relationship between the flexor & extensors and how they interact at various interval of digital motion
• To highlight clinical conditions to demonstrate pathological consequences during motion
• To aid in designing a therapeutic program to improve the outcome
