Managing Movement: Impairments Of The Lower Leg – Kinetic Control (KC)

Description

Part of our Masterclass Series, this module details a comprehensive clinical framework of movement assessment and retraining to tackle both common and not so common presentations of the knee, ankle and foot.

The main focus of this course is to supply the ‘hands on’ skills to use movement as the tool of assessment and retraining to manage leg, thigh, patella-femoral, shin pain and foot pain.

This course develops skills of movement evaluations, looking at the co-ordination patterns and muscle recruitment strategies that represent the building blocks of the full gait cycle.
