CMOT Certification for Occupational Therapists

C-456 Upper Quadrant Skills and Techniques for Occupational Therapists = 14 hours

The Occupational Therapist entry level education does not emphasize manual/manipulative techniques of the upper quadrant. Therefore a course dedicated to the refinement of techniques is necessary for the implementation of the NAIOMT Upper Quadrant theory and practice. In addition this course will be used as a discussion of areas needed to prepare for the OT oral practical exam (C-430).

Course Details
This course is the final course of 6 courses in the CMOT certification series for Occupational Therapists. This course is 2 days on-site for a total of 14 hours. Participants will receive an e-link to the onsite course materials 1 week prior to the course. Please watch for this link in your email inbox.

C-416 Screening for Cervical Spine Pathology for Occupational Therapists = 21 hours

This course is case based addressing patho-anatomy, and clinical recognition patterns of the cervical spine. Clinical presentation of each condition is highlighted and organization of knowledge is taught so that an OT may arrive at a sound clinical impression of the cervical spine as a potential pain generator of the upper quadrant. The OT based on the information from the examination may choose to treat the patient or refer to a physical therapist.

Course Details
This course is the second of 6 courses in the CMOT certification series for Occupational Therapists. The course is 2 days (14 hours) on-site and 1 day (7 hours) online for a total of 21 hours. Participants will receive an e-link to online coursework 2 weeks prior to the course and to the onsite course materials 1 week prior to the course. Please watch for these links in your email inbox.

C-426 The Functional Shoulder Girdle for Occupational Therapists = 21 hours

This course is dedicated to the management and treatment of the Shoulder Girdle and its related anatomical structures (SC/AC/Scapulothoracic/Glenohumeral joint. The Occupational Therapist will learn a step by step examination process leading to the pain generator and area of dysfunction of the shoulder girdle using Selective Tissue Testing, Palpation and Passive Movement Assessment. This differential examination and clinical recognition pattern will lead to a rational treatment plan designed for efficient and effective outcomes for the patient with shoulder girdle pain or dysfunction.

Course Details
This course is the third of 6 courses in the CMOT certification series for Occupational Therapists. The course is 2 days (14 hours) on-site and 1 day (7 hours) online for a total of 21 hours. Participants will receive an e-link to online coursework 2 weeks prior to the course and to the onsite course materials 1 week prior to the course. Please watch for these links in your email inbox.

C-436 Distal Upper Extremity for Occupational Therapists = 21 hours

This course is dedicated to the comprehensive examination and treatment of the elbow/forearm/wrist and hand. The Occupational Therapist will learn a musculoskeletal examination process including stress testing and biomechanical assessment of the distal upper extremity. Detailed surface anatomy and clinical recognition pattern will lead to a rational treatment plan designed for efficient and effective outcomes for the patient with distal upper extremity pain or dysfunction.

Course Details
This course is the fourth of 6 courses in the CMOT certification series for Occupational Therapists. The course is 2 days (14 hours) on-site and 1 day (7 hours) online for a total of 21 hours.

C-446 Integration of the Upper Quadrant for Occupational Therapists = 21 hours

This course will utilize case-based instruction to illustrate specific conditions of the integrated upper quadrant and the decision making process inherent to their total management. Designed to develop intermediate to advanced clinical reasoning skills in the field of orthopedic manual therapy, participants will develop the skills necessary to move beyond an initial patho-anatomical diagnostic hypothesis towards a detailed exploration of the etiology behind the diagnosis including mechanically sensitive neural tissue and pathos biomechanics of the cervical/thoracic spine Complex, multi-region patient/client problems of the neuromusculoskeletal system will be analyzed in an instructor specific methodology, based on the various biomechanical and neuromusculoskeletal models available, including original, and novel, thoughts and theory. Management will focus on a multi-faceted approach encompassing manual therapy, neurophysiological techniques, and various other treatment approaches within the practice act and educational background of the occupational therapist practicing in an outpatient setting.
Course Details
This course is the fifth of 6 courses in the CMOT certification series for Occupational Therapists. The course is 2 days on-site and 1 day online for a total of 21 hours.

C-406 Foundations of Musculoskeletal Occupational Therapy for the Upper Quadrant Occupational Therapists = 7 hours

is a required course for occupational therapists entering NAIOMT’s certification program — setting you up for success in every course that follows.
C-406 Foundations of MSK Occupational Therapy of the Upper Quadrant is a 7-hour asynchronous online course designed for licensed occupational therapists working in outpatient musculoskeletal settings. The curriculum is delivered through recorded lectures, readings, case-based reasoning exercises, and quizzes. Modules cover regional interdependence, kinetic chain considerations, neural contributions to distal pain, palpation skill, clinical reasoning around motor control and mobility impairment, tendinopathy progression, and persistent pain syndromes of the upper quadrant. Clinical presentation of each upper quadrant condition is highlighted, and clinical pattern recognition is taught so that the OT arrives at one or more working diagnoses that may manifest as cervical or cervico-brachial pain. Based on examination findings, the OT may choose to treat the patient within scope of practice or refer to a physical therapist.

Course Details
This course is the first of 6 courses in the CMOT certification series for Occupational Therapists. The course is 7 hours online. Participants will receive access to the online course after registering.
