The demand for professional accountability using objective outcome measurements is rising, as is interest in a systematic approach to identifying and managing complicated clinical problems. This videotaped review of assessment procedures gives the rehab team the means to meticulously acquire 30 measurable and functionally-meaningful findings. This edition has been enhanced by adding 3 new procedures, and by using skeletal components to facilitate landmark identification. |

Legs & Feet was originally produced as Pediatric Legs & Feet in response to numerous requests from Ms. Cusick's course participants for a study guide and an aid to enhancing their pediatric musculo-skeletal assessment skills. As only one procedure for evaluating hip flexor extensibility is considered solely pediatric, this new review of assessments can be used for both children and adults. |

Ships with a video companion handbook and the 110-page monograph Serial Casting to Restore Soft-Tissue Extensibility at the Ankle and Foot, 3rd Edition (full description). Casting in a series has been used commonly, as an intervention for reducing deformity in children and adults with orthopedic and neurologic problems, since as early as the 1950's in England and South Africa. Serial casting offers clients with joint deformity of soft tissue origin a relatively safe, nonsurgical method of regaining muscle and connective tissue extensibility and joint motion. The casting process uses the tissue's capacity to adapt to gentle elongation by growing new muscle, nerve, and skin cells, and by reorganizing the configuration of surrounding connective tissues. |

Casting is often used as an adjunct to the administration of BOTOX-A and other neurolytic medications for clients with central nervous system (CNS) dysfunction. If the effect of the neurolytic falls short of the goal for recovery of joint motion, a casting series will usually successfully complete the intervention. John Russell, CP, BOC Orthotist, of Collier Rehabilitation Systems, Inc., Pleasant Hill, CA, originated the FlexCast Preparatory AFO® fabrication technique. He often uses it to prepare the ankle and foot with equinus contracture for the introduction of an orthosis, such as his R-Wrap AFO©, by regaining joint mobility and limb volume. Beverly Cusick, PT, MS, modified Russell's technique to suit the properties of similar, adhesive-backed padding materials. (For a discussion of the R-Wrap orthosis, see the summary, or read the attached article by John Russell and others.) This videotape includes the following:
The manual accompanying this videotape includes FlexCast selection criteria, positioning considerations, materials and sources, the cast fabrication procedure, posting, check-out, care and removal, a progress recording form, and a ROM maintenance form. |
