Developmental Orthopedics-Biomechanical and Kinesiological Influences and Problems: Management Implications Using TheraTogs™ Systems

November 12-14, 2010

Beverly Cusick, PT, MS, COF

The first 2 days of this intermediate-level program feature a review of skeletal modeling mechanisms and influences, followed by a detailed discussion of the developmental features of the trunk and lower extremity. The content pertains primarily to the body segments proximal to the foot. Pre-course review materials are assigned and distributed to all enrollees. Normal developmental events are related to: 1) modeling errors in the presence of ligament laxity and recruitment and weight-loading problems in children with neuromotor disorders; 2) muscle balance theory as proposed by Shirley Sahrmann, PhD, PT; 3) findings obtained by undertaking selected musculoskeletal assessments; and 4) to therapeutic management featuring the principles and precautions inherent in the individualized use of the TheraTogs™ Orthotic Undergarment and Strapping System. The relevance of the findings obtained in the musculoskeletal assessment is made evident in a review of videotaped cases. Day 3 is open to participants who complete Days 1 & 2, and is limited, as it entails lab sessions on 5 assessment procedures and TheraTogs strapping systems, with clinical problem solving for presented cases.
