Download iCal FileCourse Description: This course will be clinical in focus, using current evidence and diagnostic differential decision making of temporomandibular joint dysfunction. At least 60% of the session will be hands-on lab practice. Joint and soft tissue examination and treatment techniques will be utilized on the TMJ, muscles of mastication, and upper cervical spine, along with exercise and patient education concepts. There will be ample direct feedback from instructors for course participants.
Participants will be provided with a reference list to support their learning and will be expected to review TMJ anatomy and kinesiology on their own prior to the course since this will not be covered during the session. A pre-recorded lecture will be provided if needed.
Target audience: instruction is geared toward those with little or no experience in managing patients with TMD; however, the experienced clinician will find clinical pearls and techniques useful to hone their skills.
Course objectives:
Upon completion of this course, participants will be able to:
1. Describe the pathophysiology of TMD
2. Demonstrate examination of the upper cervical spine and temporomandibular joints
3. Apply joint and soft tissue mobilization to the TMJ and upper cervical spine
4. Select appropriate exercises for patients with TMD
5. Synthesize new information into clinical practice for management of TMD
