COURSE DESCRIPTION:
Expand your evaluation and treatment knowledge for toe walking previously learned in Liesa’s “Therapeutic Evaluation & Management of Toe Walking (Pediatric Equinus Gait)”. Using her systematic approach, clinical application skills will be further enhanced through case analysis using the Act! (Assessment Criteria for Toe walking) as a guided, evidence-based, detailed, decision making process. Applying Liesa’s comprehensive toe walking specific evaluation to cases, clinicians will learn to identify an etiology-based problem list, choose suitable, appropriate, and feasible interventions and develop a relevant plan of care specific to the problems of each individual child.
Since this new course builds on her first course, participants should attend Therapeutic Evaluation and Management of Toe Walking (Pediatric Equinus Gait) first (see below for 2023 dates/times).
