SEL 0937 - Palpation Skills Development for the Extremities and Associated Soft Tissue Structures

This hands-on laboratory course will meet on five consecutive Fridays and focus on palpation procedures of the upper and lower extremities their and associated soft tissues. This course is designed to enhance the students’ palpatory skills through demonstration and focused practice so that they feel confident in their ability to detect clinically-relevant articular and soft tissue changes commonly encountered in chiropractic practice. Over the course of 5 weeks, students will review skills stressed in first year Chiropractic Procedures courses and learn other methods of static and dynamic palpation of the extremities. Soft tissue palpation will emphasize not only skin and muscle, but also palpation of fascia and other connective tissues.
