Course Description
We hear about ‘the core’ all of the time, but it is so much more than just the abdominals! Treating children, whether they are high functioning or have more complex issues, requires a thorough understanding of the muscles that provide core stability. These core muscles are a large part of postural control and function, respiration, and even gastrointestinal issues. An evidence-based, multi-system approach is taken to examine and devise effective intervention strategies that are immediately applicable to a variety of pediatric populations. Upon the conclusion of this course participants will have an in depth knowledge of the muscles of the core and how to mobilize and activate them while incorporating their use into functional skills. Come to class dressed to feel and move as we work on these concepts!
Course Objectives
- Identify the four key muscle groups of the deep core and their contribution to stability.
- Identify four additional muscle groups that work with the deep core muscles to support movement and function.
- Analyze the development of core stability & postural control using the case or video provided.
- Choose a treatment strategy that incorporates current research findings and addresses the child’s functional goals.
- Determine two areas of tightness or weakness (using a multi-system approach in examination) and how this impacts posture, movement and function in provided case studies.
- Apply what three of the most current research articles say about core stability in children with diagnoses such as Developmental Coordination Disorder (DCD), Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), Down Syndrome, and Cerebral Palsy (CP).
- Choose two effective interventions to address the system-based impairments that impact core stability and function using the case study provided.
- Integrate the strategies for postural control, movement and function into a treatment plan using the case study provided.
