Why this course?

Feel at ease managing elbow conditions in your clinic, thanks to a complete approach from assessment to treatment.

La formation en situation

Elbow assessment, triage and relevant care.

The elbow is a complex joint, and often a source of uncertainty in management. Between fractures, dislocations, epicondylalgia and nerve entrapment syndromes, the clinical pictures are varied .

This course will teach you to assess the elbow rigorously , to understand the surgical indications and to offer suitable, evidence-based rehabilitation.

The physiotherapist-surgeon duo gives you the full picture: from the operating table to the physio clinic, every step is covered.

A unique multidisciplinary approach combining the surgeon's eye and the specialised physiotherapist's expertise .

Your practice today

  • Uncertainty when faced with the different elbow conditions
  • Difficulty interpreting surgical reports
  • Rehabilitation that is too standardised, poorly tailored to each condition
  • Lack of objective criteria to progress through the phases

After the course

  • A structured clinical examination and a differential diagnosis you have mastered
  • Understanding of the surgeries and of what they imply for rehabilitation
  • Rehabilitation specific to each elbow condition
  • Patient self-management built on self-rehabilitation exercises
