[Download Now] Pediatric Gait: Science-Based Examination and Intervention – Paula Cox

What works and what doesn’t work with girt.

For those who assist children with gait, you know how important it is for them to participate with their peers. Are you using scientific practices in the treatment of the children you work with? Do you use the most appropriate interventions based on the evidence?

In this recording, you can learn how to improve your care for children. The presentation of the ICF is a framework for the practice of physical therapy for children. As the group discusses the components of typical, atypical, and pathological gait, watch and learn. You will evaluate the most reliable and evidence-based tools to examine and assess skill levels and progress for children with commonly seen gait disorders. Better outcomes for your clients can be achieved by moving from an intuitive-based practice to a science-based one.

1. Identify valid and reliable measurement tools to use to evaluate gait disorders in pediatric practice
2. Differentiate between evidence-based and non-evidence-based interventions
3. Implement the ICF to assist in developing measurable and functional outcomes
4. Develop plans to move practice into a scientific direction in consideration of neuroplasticity and motor learning
5. Contrast atypical gait from pathological gait
6. Review the International Classification of Function, Disability, and Health (ICF) and its use as a framework and guide in your practice

KINEMATICS OF TYPICAL, ATYPICAL, & PATHOLOGICAL GAIT.

• Components of gait
• Alignment of joints during gait

INTERVENTION.

• What is evidence-based practice
• Review presently used interventions for neuromuscular and musculoskeletal gait disorders
