Southern Metro District Autumn Educational Program, Business Meeting & District Caucus
BIOMECHANICAL DYSFUCNTION OF THE LOWER QUARTER: PROBLEM SOLVING WITH INTEGRATED VIDEO ANALYSIS
Presented by: David Nolan, PT, DPT, MS, OCS, CSCS
Foot and ankle pathology is common in physical therapy practice. Overuse injuries are often a result of abnormal foot mechanics or due to imbalances higher in the kinetic chain. This lecture is designed to demonstrate how abnormal foot mechanics contribute to many of the lower extremity problems we treat every day. Through lecture and discussion of case studies utilizing video gait analysis, participants will improve their understanding of abnormal gait as it relates to an orthopedic population.
