Inhaltsbeschreibung: Osteoarthritis of the 1st CMC joint of the hand is a common condition which affects a large part of the (predominantly) female population above 50 years of age. We will focus on the anatomy of the affected joints, the pathophysiology of the disease and discuss methods of decreasing the pain prior to surgery.
The emphasis will be on exercises to increase both the stability as well as the mobility of the affected joints. The exercise programme will be discussed and demonstrated. There will be ample opportunity to try out each exercise, making use of exercise sheets. Although the exercises cannot cure the disease, our experience is that the increased stability and strength of the thumb helps to postpone surgical intervention. In addition to the exercise programme, a limited number of thumb splints will be demonstrated. One or two basic surgical interventions will be discussed and combined with an explanation of suggested post-operative care.
Osteoarthritis of the IP joints of the hand is also very common among ladies over 60 years of age. Common surgical interventions include joint arthroplasties and joint arthrodesis. Rehabilitation after these interventions will be discussed and suggestions provided for treatment methods that have proved to be successful in the past.

Inhaltsbeschreibung: Come and learn how to apply a really effective technique that will make all the difference to the patient with a swollen hand!
Manual Oedema Mobilisation is a method of oedema reduction, based of lymph drainage principles. This method was developed by Sandra Artzberger (from the US) and deals with the reduction of oedema by means of an overwhelmed, but intact lymph drainage system. It is geared towards the therapist who wants to reduce acute oedema due to upper limb trauma, using a simple, yet effective method.
The theoretical framework of the course will include the development of oedema, types of oedema, anatomical and physiological aspects of oedema, assessments and the actual technique of oedema reduction. The practical sessions will include a demonstration of the method on each segment of the upper limb. Participants will have the opportunity to learn the techniques, by practicing on a fellow therapist. A demonstration of oedema bandaging and pressure garments for the upper limb will be included.
In addition, this full day course will provide guidelines, which will enable therapists to teach their patients or their spouses to practice these techniques at home.
