Course Description:
This is a basic level course that will cover specific assessment tools for the lower extremity, development of different types of gait problems, and treatment of the same problems. Knowledge of the gait cycle is recommended as this course is practical and treatment oriented. The participant will develop a problem solving approach for treatment of equinus gait, lateral and medial rotation gait, crouched gait, and lateral flexion gait. If you have taken the Beverly Cusick course there will be review, however, integrating her information into treatment plans will be helpful.
