Aims & Objectives

• This course is designed for practitioners of all levels with an interest in normal gait and pathologic gait associated with a variety of pediatric orthopaedic conditions.
• Use of quantitative gait analysis for assessment and clinical decision-making.
• Introduction to normal gait.
• Introduce the various elements of Quantitative gait analysis and application of this approach to a variety of clinical conditions.
• Case based examples to illustrate the principles and applications of 2D and 3D Gait Analysis in clinical situations.

Learning Objectives

Participants will:

• understand the characteristics of normal gait and abnormal gait patterns
• know when and why to refer a patient for 2D or 3D gait analysis
• recognize and interpret specific patterns on kinematic/ kinetic graphs; understand their relevance
• learn to use 2D and 3D gait analysis as practical tools in clinical decision making

USP

• Clinically oriented ICL that will demystify a complex subject
• Principles and practice of Gait Analysis presented in a simple format by acknowledged experts in the field
• No prior experience necessary! We will teach you everything you need to know to get started.
• Learn directly from patients and case examples. Emphasis on case-based discussion rather than didactic teaching.
• Pre-course teaching material that will get you up to speed on gait terminologies. You will feel entirely at home. Question the faculty with confidence!
