Course Overview
In this course, Perfecting the Assessment: Force Based Muscle Tests, Derrick McBride presents the global concept of applying force to muscles for the diagnosis of orthopedic injuries and local stagnation patterns. Specific examples will be used to show the versatility of the concept presented. Some examples of tests include:(1) Differentiating Hip Abductors such as Gluteus Medius. Gluteus Minimus, and Tensor Fascia Latae (2) Differentiating Hip Adductors such as Adductor Longus, Adductor Magnus, and Gracilis (3) Trunk Stabilizers. At the end of the course, the students will feel comfortable with multiple ways of applying compressive forces to anatomical tissues for more specific diagnoses of local stagnation patterns.
Objective

    *CEU/CPD Approvals

    Some accreditation bodies have course approval expirations. If the approval expires, you will see a notice next to the name with a date of expiration: "[Until YYYY/MM/DD]". Please factor this date into your own renewal deadline. If an approval expires, you will be able to request that it is renewed and we will submit it for you within 2 business days. Renewals normally come back to us after 30 days. If your accreditation body is not listed under the "Approved" section, you may find it under the "Pending" section. That means that it is either currently pending approval, or that it is available for you to request: "[Upon Request]". New course approvals usually come back to us after 45 days. We use an automated system within our platform that allows you to make these requests in an easy and convenient way.

If you request a course approval and do not complete it before its new expiration date, you will need to purchase another "CEU/CPD Add-On" to make another request. If the course is ineligible for approval with an accreditation body due to their subject-matter policies, it will be listed as "[Ineligible]", and no requests will be possible for the course.
