Non-Financial: Eric Hegedis cites his research in this course, but does not use the course for the purpose of promoting his own research.
In this course, viewers will wade into the plethora of special tests of the shoulder and discover not only the traditional tests that are unhelpful with diagnosis but also the best tests for ruling in and ruling out the most prevalent pathologies of the shoulder, as supported by scientific literature. Where science lacks proof, tests will be recommended based on their clinical use. This course is part of a comprehensive clinical series covering examination and intervention for the cervical, thoracic, and lumbar spine, as well as the upper (shoulder, elbow, wrist, and hand) and lower (hip, pelvis, knee, foot, and ankle) quarters.
