Course Objectives (Foot & Ankle)
Developmental aspects & foot formation, influence of the CNS function on foot structural maturation
Foot biomechanics from the developmental perspective; stepping forward, supporting function, foot function during gait cycle
Foot and ankle functional evaluation from developmental perspective
Functional foot centration from the developmental perspective
DNS active exercise positions to centrate the foot and to coordinate muscles in foot region
Mobilization, relaxation and soft tissue techniques according to Lewit to normalize foot function
Foot awareness assessment and treatment (foot cortical representation training)
Typical chain reactions and types of musculoskeletal dysfunction resulting from foot dysfunction
Self treatment techniques for foot dysfunction
Course Objectives (Gait)
Improve attendee’s acumen for gait analysis.
Review the different phases of the gait cycle.
Review pertinent developmental kinesiology to the gait cycle.
Provide a detailed explanation of muscle kinematics of the foot and how it relates to stability, function and centration.
Learn to utilize gait analysis as the doorway into the overall function of the patient. Attendees of this course should expect to be able to identify proper functional tests to verify observational findings in the gait cycle.
Specific developmental exercises to address common functional and structural pathology affecting the gait cycle.
Review postural stabilization and the roll the diaphragm and respiration play in this essential attribute of function.
Overview of common pathology associated with the gait cycle.
