Description:

Locomotor training, aka gait training, is often the major focus of a therapy plan of care. Rehabilitation literature has leaned heavily into researching better ways to improve walking ability, with many new concepts and developments over the past two decades. Technology has also come along for the ride, with advances in treadmills, support systems, robotics, and more. However, it is often very difficult to stay abreast of the latest information when engaged in full time clinical practice. This course was created to inform participants on what is the latest and greatest in the research world, from advances in treatment paradigms, to the newest technological gadgets. We will not only introduce these topics, but also go into the pros and cons of each. By the end of this course, participants should have a good understanding where we currently stand with locomotor training, and where we are headed in the near future, as well as how you can implement these ideas into your clinical practice.
