This two-day course is designed for physical therapists that work with individuals with cerebral palsy and wish to enhance their clinical decision-making skills when assessing and treating for movement and gait disorders. Video and interactive cases will be used to demonstrate the common gait patterns of children with cerebral palsy (CP). Research updates related to gait in children with cerebral palsy and clinical suggestions for physical therapy interventions will be presented.
Objectives:
At the end of the course, the learner will:
1) Describe the kinematics, kinetics and electromyography (EMG) of the mature gait cycle and the development of gait in children.
2) Analyze atypical movement patterns and critical impairments interfering with gait in children with cerebral palsy with a focus on differentiating primary impairments from secondary compensations.
3) Discuss the evidence in the literature related to interventions to improve gait in children with CP.
4) Collaborate with colleagues to develop treatment strategies based on clinical experience and best available evidence to improve movement and gait in individuals with CP.
