After reading over these instructions, you can begin creating content related to the topic you choose. You can start by adding general descriptive content about the disorder that could be in narrative and/or bullet format. The editing tools above allow you to edit the page much like a Word document. You can easily add links to other websites using the link icon above (Globe with chain link icon). Here are some of the links you could add:

Instructions[edit | edit source]

OBJECTIVES:

  1. Coherently present diagnostic methods and intervention strategies or techniques for patients with selected upper extremity (UE) disorders.  
  1. These disorders are often described via a classic disease or impairment/tissue model, however, you need to draw the link to physical therapy in terms of a impairment or disablement model and PT treatment. In other words what are the "key impairments" that result from these disorders and how can you as a therapist address these.
  1. Search for, analyze, and integrate the best evidence related to a given UE topic to guide physical therapist practice.  
  2. Evidence for treatment approaches that have been documented via clinical trials or other clinical research, if available, should be emphasized; if not the relative value of the alternative sources should be clarified.
  3. Develop digital media (web page, images, and video as appropriate) to present findings to the class, other students, and the general body of practicing physical therapists via an open international wiki site.
  4. The focus should be to create a targeted mini in-service on the assigned topic. It should be concise and targeted to your audience of fellow therapists. The web page should make sure to emphasize why these topics are relevant to physical therapy.


Here are some of the links you could add: 

  • Medical sites related to the disorder
  • Video/photos related to the disorder
  • Links to abstract of research in Pubmed/Medline


A template for the article pages which contains sub-headings headings for the disorder has been provided, please follow the template for uniformity of content.
