Dungeons and Dynamometers: A Force Course - January 9 - 10, 2027
Dungeons and Dynamometers: A Force Course is a 15-hour, hands-on course designed to make objective force testing practical, approachable, and immediately useful in clinical practice. Through engaging lectures, demonstrations, real-world cases, and a sandbox-style lab experience, participants will learn the why, how, and when of dynamometry—from setup and data collection to troubleshooting, interpretation, and clinical decision-making. The course emphasizes hands-on practice and repetition, giving clinicians the opportunity to build technical confidence and explore how force testing can be seamlessly integrated into their practice. Expect practical skills, useful takeaways, plenty of laughs, and a few exceptional memes and witty puns along the way. Most importantly, you’ll leave with the knowledge and confidence to put force testing to work right away.
