Foot & Ankle Development & Deformity Management with Serial Casting - Why & How
Telluride, Colorado · Five Practice-Changing Days!
|
This course features a review of the development and biomechanics of the foot and ankle complex in the open and closed chain, with minimum soft tissue extensibility requirements for efficient lower extremity functional mobility. Musculoskeletal assessment procedures are reviewed in seminar and in supervised lab sessions, as the findings apply to proper documentation of casting results and a systematic approach to clinical decision-making regarding alignment and posting in casts and orthoses.
Best of all, the small-group structure — limited to a maximum of 6 participants — guarantees personal attention and hands-on guidance from Ms. Cusick!
