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

more videos of assessment techniques being completed as well as the interventions. before, during, after, photos and\/or videos of case studies would be very helpful.

videos of children with various dysfunctional gait patterns was very helpful. the lab portion with the ankle\/foot assessment was quite general - really would have preferred more specific gait assessment and treatment info.

the instructor just read off the slides for the most part. would've liked more learning and examples\/visuals

instead of reading off the slides she could have better explained different gait patterns

i watched this course on video. the videos embedded in the course for demonstration purposes did not play so i was unable to view them. they would have been very helpful in the learnibg process. also - i feel like the material was covered too quickly - perhaps too much material for the alloted time. more demonstrations of abnormal gait would have been helpful.
