The Shoulder Girdle
Clinical anatomy, kinesiology, & the jing-jin ("sinew meridians" or myofascial tracts)
- Glenohumeral, acromio- and sterno- clavicular joints
- Muscles, tendons and ligaments of the shoulder girdle
- Shoulder bursae
History-taking for the shoulder: key diagnostic questions
- "Red flag" symptoms of urgent/serious medical conditions warranting referral to physician care: fractures, dislocations and complete tears; neuropathies; tumors
- Differentiating symptoms of muscle, tendon, ligament, labral, capsular, and nerve injuries
- Neural hypersensitization and psycho-social factors
- Functional capacity questionnaires for reporting to managed care insurance
Physical exam of the shoulder: how findings can guide treatment with acupuncture modalities
- Observation, inspection and palpation
- Joint active range-of-motion and tracking exam: taking measurements and diagnostic significance
- Assessment of joint stability through end-feel testing
- Muscle length and manual strength testing and referred pain patterns charts for 18 key muscles of the shoulder girdle
- Special orthopedic tests
- Documentation of physical exam findings
- Measuring and reporting functional capacity baselines and treatment outcomes
- Clinical flow charts to facilitate efficiency and accuracy in examination
Diagnosis, pattern identification and treatment for shoulder girdle pain, injuries and disability
- Gleno-humeral joint
- Non-capsular patterns: AMBRI and SLAP (labral) tears
- Capsular patterns: osteoarthorosis, capsulitis, and "frozen shoulder"
- Acromio- and sterno-clavicular joint sprains/separations and hypermobility
- Rotator cuff tendonitis/tendonosus, impingement, and bursitis

Arm, Wrist, and Hand
Clinical anatomy, kinesiology, and the jing-jin:
- Elbow joints: ulnar-humeral, radio-humeral and -capitellar
- Wrist joints: ulnar-carpal, radio-carpal, and distal radio-ulnar
- Muscles and tendons of the upper- and fore- arm and hand
History-taking for the arm, wrist, and hand: key diagnostic questions
- "Red flag" symptoms of urgent/serious medical conditions potentially warranting referral to physician care: fractures, neuropathies, complex regional pain syndrome
- Differentiating symptoms of muscle, tendon, ligament, joint, and nerve injuries
- Neural hypersensitization and psycho-social factors
- Functional capacity questionnaires for reporting to managed care insurance
Physical exam of the arm, wrist and hand
- Observation, inspection and palpation
- Active and passive range-of-motion examination of the elbow, wrist, and finger joints: measurements and diagnostic significance

- Special orthopedic, neurologic and vascular tests
- Documentation of physical exam findings
- Measuring and reporting functional capacity baselines and treatment outcomes
