TOE WALKING: IN DEPTH CLINICAL APPLICATIONS USING AN ETIOLOGICAL APPROACH

Course overview

"Evaluation & Management of Toe Walking" challenged the clinician to ask the right questions & form a systematic approach to the child who "toe walks". Chaos was replaced with clarity through an organized evaluation procedure that results in appropriate intervention. "In Depth Clinical Applications" continues with additional detail on assessment & intervention. Updated in 2023, Dr Ritchie's comprehensive Toe Walking specific Evaluation provides complementary information regarding rationale & an appropriate plan of care for each contributing factor to the toe walking gait. Previously introduced, The Act (Assessment Criteria for Toe Walking), is further utilized in a guided, evidence based, detailed, decision making process. Clinical application skills are enhanced via supplemental provided case studies. Participants will apply information, from both The Act & the Evaluation, to identify specific problems for each individual child. Both tools are then used to make decisions in order to implement appropriate & feasible interventions. Finally, Liesa guides the treating clinician towards an etiology based problem list, suitable interventions & a relevant plan of care.
