Gait Biomechanics & Orthotics Integration - Pre-AAOP Seminar

Text:
This intensive full-day course will include clinical history and gait
assessment of 4-6 live patients with footdrop, including comparison of their
gait (1) w/o orthotic intervention, (2) w/orthotic intervention w/o
customization, and (3) w/orthotic intervention w/customization.
Considerable gains have been made in recent years in studies of muscles and
proprioception and the impact of their activity on the entire biomechanical
chain. A working knowledge of this biomechanical pathway in gait may offer
the orthotist new tools to move orthotic intervention beyond stabilization
to increased mobility with gait enhancement. The course will include
exploration of AFO customization techniques to address such issues as the
supinated or pronated foot, proximal control in both the frontal and
sagittal planes, flexion or extension control of the knee, and potential
proprioception enhancement. Interactive: Participants will be invited to
present their own case studies for audience input. March 19, 2002 – Four
Points Sheraton, Kissimmee, FL – Very reasonable room rates. For
