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!
- Workbook exercises for interactive learning
- Audience Response System is included in the workshop for maximum participation and to gauge your level of understanding
