This course clearly explains the significant components of evaluation and treatment of pediatric gait, in a clinically relevant manner. Flaws of a “wait and see” approach will be discussed, while supporting proactive & preventive intervention with proposed methods for deliberate, realistic & effective intervention for pediatric gait.
The increased prevalence of developmental delay will be considered, with proposed etiologies, assessment of pre-gait skill performance, related orthopedic consequences and the future effects of this diagnosis on postural control and ambulation. Neuroplasticity, and the opportunities it provides for therapists, is explained. Orthopedic development is presented as it concerns appropriate development of an adequate base of support and assessment of the pediatric lower quarter.
In summary, participants will leave with skills and treatment tools to immediately put into practice.
The course presents elements that are applicable to our environments in terms of evaluation, intervention and analysis. However, in the public sector, equipment and orthotics are sometimes difficult to obtain and/or parents don’t have the money for them.
I love the video format, which I can stop and rewind as I wish. The information is easier to assimilate.
Great !
Interesting course with lots of clinical applications!
Interesting, many demonstration videos well appreciated.
