APA: Paediatric Gait and Running analysis and Retraining

Course: Paediatric Gait and Running Analysis and Retraining

This course provides in-depth insight into higher level mobility analysis and retraining post neurological injury in the paediatric population. It includes gait and running analysis and retraining. The course combines a lecture day, covering both paediatric and adult components, and a practical day devoted exclusively to paediatric issues. You should have some experience in treating the paediatric population with gait and mobility limitations.

Completing this course will enable you to:
• understand the impact of speed and age on gait performance
• understand an impairment-focused approach to gait analysis, and gain further knowledge of video-based observational gait analysis
• understand the biomechanical features of gait disorders in people with stroke, acquired brain/traumatic brain injury (and/or Parkinson’s disease, cerebral palsy)

• assess and prescribe exercise to improve higher level mobility including running in the neurologically impaired population
