Pediatric Gait Analysis

Price:$99.99

Additional Information

Pediatric therapists innately observe patients' gaitpatterns immediately and are constantly reassessing the need for orthotics and walking aids as the child grows or demonstrates a change in function. From the time children start to stand we are charged with deciding on the most appropriate orthotic use, if any, and the least restrictive assistive device that maximizes activity and participation. As abnormal gait patterns are caused by muscle imbalances,bony torsions, and faulty joint mechanics resulting from either neurological insult or orthopedic impairments. An understanding of the resulting changes in forces and balancereactions is essential to adequately treat this demographic.This course will provide a review of gait mechanics anddiscuss how to treat gait dysfunctions most seen in thepediatric population. This course will provide updated evidence and strategies to apply gait analysis most effectively to physical therapy treatment.

The content of this program is germane to children, students and clients ages 0-22.

Highlights

  • Practical assessment and re-assessment strategies for abnormal gait patterns, and theunderlying causes of functional deficits
  • Effective interventions including use of walking aids and orthotics to improve gait biomechanics
  • Apply assessment and treatment techniques to yourPT practice through case examples

Target Audience: Physical Therapists, Physical Therapist Assistants

very knowledgeable presenter

instructor seemed knowledgeable but was not a good presenter. she didn't make clear points and at times sort of mumbled her way through an explanation. also her use of abbreviations was very confusing, especially using pf for plantar fascia when it typically indicates plantarflexion.

talking can be a little fast, as well as often soft-spoken or almost muttering. anatomy review would have been more helpful at the beginning of the program instead of towards the end. would appreciate more time spent on effectiveness\/rationale of different types of orthotics.

the audio was difficult, the last few words of long sentences sounded mumbled and were hard to catch.
