Gait: Clinical Observation and Orthotic Intervention - PART 2

Course overview

This asynchronous online course designed for physiotherapists, orthotists, physicians, and other rehabilitation professionals specializing in pediatric care. Building upon concepts from Part 1, this course delves into the individualized prescription, goal setting, and evaluation of Ankle-Foot Orthoses (AFOs). Participants will learn to identify common AFO types, understand their biomechanical effects, and apply clinical measures to assess their effectiveness. The course emphasizes shifting from trial-and-error approaches to evidence-informed, client-specific strategies, including gait observation and physical assessment. Clinicians completing the course will enhance their ability to prescribe and evaluate AFOs effectively, leading to improved patient outcomes.
