This course features an overview of somatosensory function and development, the role of postural control in movement acquisition and physiologic adaptation, skeletal modeling mechanisms and influences, and ideal and pathomechanical features of orthopedic development of the trunk and selected aspects of the extremities.
Instructor describes selected musculoskeletal assessments and the clinical implications of their findings and brings them to therapeutic and orthotic management planning designed to optimize bone and joint development via building postural control and movement skills. The relevance of the findings obtained in the musculoskeletal assessment to target selected interventions is made evident in videotaped cases.

Really interesting content
Great summary of ortho assessments in children and the impact of motor development on MSQ and vice versa. Several long Thera-Tog capsules… a little too long at times if you don’t use this technique.
a wealth of knowledge and expertise
I really enjoyed this course
Personally, according to the description I thought it was applicable to a private clientele, but in reality it’s more of a course for people working in the public sector.
