The Essentials of Ankle and Foot Assessment and Treatment LIVE WEBINAR

In-Fit Rehabilitation

Objectives

-Gain a comprehensive understanding of abnormal foot postures and the effects upon and affects from proximal structures of the lower quadrant
-Understand and easily apply standardized tools and examination techniques to identify conditions and underlying etiologies.
-Possess a resarch backed, thorough understanding of ankle/foot diagnoses and treatments
-Acquire palpatory skills that improve their ability to identify issues lending to the presentation of clients. -Learn mobilization and manipulation techniques of the foot and ankle
-Easily apply taping techniques and orthotic modifications to support the foot.

Description

LIVE WEBINAR APPROVED IN Illinois, Louisiana, Arkansas, Iowa and Utah. Check your state board for reciprocity

This course will begin with a discussion of abnormal biomechanics of the foot and ankle with increased attention to resultant foot compensations resulting from aberrant proximal structures of the lower quadrant. Conversely, there will be a discussion of foot postures causing compensations in proximal structures. The course will address functional leg length discrepancies and what structure is the cause of the discrepancy and where any compensations occur. There will be discussion of recent contradictory evidence of planus and cavus effects on proximal structures of the lower quadrant. The course also reviews examination tools and techniques to enable the clinician to efficiently and effectively diagnose conditions and understand etiology to allow improved treatment. Next there will be a discussion that provides analysis into common and less common conditions of the foot/ankle and offers research supporting the best treatment recommendations.
