Description
Rehab professionals are well versed in the phases of gait and recognize how consuming seeking to identify the slightest of abnormalities can be. After documenting these observations, what’s next? How do we draw meaningful and impactful conclusions to discover the origin of the identified abnormalities and further translate these findings to objective treatment goals and strategies?
Functional mobility and gait are some of the most widely addressed therapeutic activities. For decades, we have primarily relied on study of the “phases of gait” to address gait and mobility abnormalities with injury, surgery, or general aging. Although impactful, the phases of gait often neglect areas critical for safe mobility and energy conservation. This course will address the six determinants of gait and allow you to drastically add to your understanding of mobility beyond the mechanics. You will learn evidence-based exercises, activities, and treatment strategies that can directly impact not only gait, but everyday function, mobility, and safety for your patients.
