DESCRIPTION
In this new on-demand course, clinicians will expand their evaluation and treatment knowledge for toe walking that was previously learned in Liesa’s Therapeutic Evaluation & Management of Toe Walking (Pediatric Equinus Gait). Using her systematic approach, clinical application skills will be further enhanced through case analysis using “The Act!” (Assessment Criteria for Toe walking) as a guided, evidence-based, detailed, decision making process. Applying Liesa’s comprehensive toe walking specific evaluation to cases, clinicians will learn to identify an etiology-based problem list, choose suitable, appropriate, and feasible interventions and develop a relevant plan of care specific to the problems of each individual child.
