Clinical Gait Assessment

Course overview

While it is critical to evaluate the runner from a clinical perspective, the only way to understand how the runner uses his or her combination of mobility, stability, strength, and power when running is to directly assess their running form. In this course a systematic method called the Visual Gait Tool is presented to guide clinicians through an evaluation. Specific injuries will be discussed, and participants will develop the tools to successfully cue gait to ensure that clinical goals can be incorporated by the runner for long term success.
