ERI is partnering with Children's Health to offer this live webinar.
Would you like to increase your skill with orthotic recommendations and treatment skills for the foot and ankle in pediatric and adult patients with neurological, developmental and/or orthopedic diagnoses? This course is for you! Learn a movement systems approach including hands-on skills such as mobilizations to promote adaptive relative flexibility; improving intrinsic stability through strengthening of the “foot core”; and interventions to positively impact neuroplasticity.

October 23 and 24, 2021

ERI is partnering with Children’s Medical Center Dallas to offer this live webinar.
Would you like to increase your skills with orthotic recommendations? Are you interested in increasing your treatment repertoire for the foot and ankle for pediatric and adult patients with neurological, developmental and/or orthopedic diagnoses? This course presents a movement systems approach to management of the foot and ankle. Using a kinesiopathological lens, participants examine the effect of repeated movements, sustained alignments, cumulative micro-trauma, and altered relative flexibility on the function of the ankle. This course presents a comprehensive approach to care based on differential diagnosis, while examining the evidence for interventions that maximize the resiliency of the ankle complex through skeletal maturation and into adulthood. Participants learn hands-on skills for an integrated approach including mobilizations to promote adaptive relative flexibility; improving intrinsic stability through strengthening of the “foot core;” and interventions to positively impact neuroplasticity. Participants also actively use the ICF model to guide recommendations for targeted use of the external support of orthoses and casts to guide adaptive tissue-specific stresses.
Course Objectives:
- Recognize the interplay of Musculoskeletal and Neuromuscular Movement System Diagnoses and neuroplastic changes on foot and ankle dysfunction.
- Perform a detailed foot and ankle examination including gait kinematics, neuromotor function, and musculoskeletal structures.
- Develop a comprehensive plan of care for the foot and ankle to improve gait in the context of supporting best structural outcome.
- Perform treatment techniques to address relative flexibility and promote progressive strengthening in foot and ankle for function.
- Make detailed recommendations for casting and orthotic interventions.
Amanda Hall
Amanda Hall is an engaging speaker and experienced therapist who developed a framework for pediatric and neuro ankle intervention. Her area of expertise includes therapeutic casting and orthotic design based on kinesiopathology, differential diagnosis, manual therapy, and alignment for therapeutic gait with individualized intervention and patient-centered designs. She currently provides casting as well as orthotic and assistive technology interventions at HSC Pediatric Center in Washington, D.C. Amanda is a Pediatric Clinical Specialist . She has presented internationally, with special emphasis on serving patients with complex presentations and “outliers”, including at the Combined Sections Meeting of the American Physical Therapy Association, the APTA Pediatrics Annual Conference, and at the National Institutes of Health.
