Pediatric Gait Analysis & Orthotic Management:
Optimal Segment Kinematics & Alignment Approach to Rehabilitation (OSKAR)
This 10-session virtual course provides a unique in-depth exploration of the observation and analysis of standing and walking. Optimal Segment Kinematics and Alignment Approach to Rehabilitation (OSKAR) principles give equal emphasis to segments and joints, crucial for understanding standing, walking, rehabilitation, and orthotic management. The course covers the alignments, kinematics and kinetics of typical and atypical patterns of standing, stepping, and walking with full gait cycles, emphasizing the application of OSKAR principles to orthotic management and rehabilitation programs. Discover newly published tools for collaborative decision-making, including a Pictorial Tool that facilitates family-centered goal setting for orthotic management in all areas of the International Classification of Functioning Disability and Health (ICF), and a Dosage Tool.
Participants will learn to maximize biomechanical outcomes using footwear, ankle-foot orthoses, and their combinations, refine their clinical decision-making through video vector gait laboratory case studies focusing on conditions like cerebral palsy, neural tube defects, stroke, and apply OSKAR rehabilitation programs for enhanced mobility. The course, applicable to both pediatric and adult cases, culminates in participants being able to directly integrate these principles and techniques into their clinical practice, supported by a comprehensive over 600-page manual.
