Managing the median nerve
Learn how to achieve optimal motor and sensory recovery after a median nerve injury by addressing not just the hand, but also the cortical hand map
Our first presenter, Nicola Ehlers, describes the anatomy and function of the median nerve as well as the devastating effects of a nerve injury. She then dives into assessment and rehabilitation of motor function, using case studies to demonstrate how to apply treatment principles.
Kirsty van Stormbroek shows us how to start with sensory re-education even before sensation returns so as to maintain the cortical hand map. She then explains how sensory re-education can promote cortical reorganisation, providing practical treatment ideas perfect for low-resource settings.
