Educational Objectives

Hour 1

Discuss the gait cycle and gait cycle biomechanics
Discuss Tetrasomy 18 and Chronic Inflammatory Demyelinating Polyneuropathy etiologies
Discuss Tetrasomy 18 and Chronic Inflammatory Demyelinating Polyneuropathy gait abnormalities
Propose rehabilitation strategies for abnormalities commonly seen in many neurological disorders

Hour 2

Review the anatomical and functional causes of leg length discrepancies
Review the kinematics and kinetics of leg length discrepancies during the gait cycle.
View and discuss several new case studies looking at anatomical leg length discrepancies and the impact of compensations to accommodate the fixed changes.
Discuss examination procedures to facilitate understanding of the pathomechanics resulting from a leg length discrepancy.
Propose intrinsic and extrinsic remedies for the gait abnormalities seen.

Hour 3

Provide an overview of orthotic therapy
Review orthotic casting processes and contrast differences and potential pitfalls in them
Discuss common problems arising from orthotic prescription (blisters, pain during use, pressure spots, etc)
Propose mechanisms for why problems occur biomechanically
Present remedies for common problems that arise

Hour 4

Approved States/Territories
