This course will teach clinicians to develop interventions based on etiologies to produce successful long-term outcomes. Through an organized evaluation procedure, specific data will be used to direct the clinician to potential etiologies. Causes and appropriate intervention strategies are identified in order to utilize a systematic approach to developing an effective treatment plan. This course challenges the clinician to ask the correct questions in order to form a systematic approach to treating the child who “toe walks.”
Course Objectives:
- Identify specific etiologies relevant to pediatric equinus gait.
- Discuss etiology-specific & age-appropriate assessment & management strategies for this population.
- Apply effective examination, evaluation, intervention and treatment strategies to toe walking in the pediatric population.
- Design an effective & individualized treatment plan for the pediatric patient.
- Explain the future consequences of incorrect intervention.
