Assessment of the Walk Cycle for the Manual Practitioner
The goal of this class is to present concepts of how the body uses ground forces in the kinetic chain and produce motion in the walk cycle. We will cover the fascial planes and how they transmit forces from the ground to the cranium. Patterns of adaption will be discussed and the clinician will learn different approaches to biomechanical dysfunctions and how they relate to the health of the body. The understanding of the specific nuances of each segmental motion pattern in both normal and abnormal gait will be discussed. Laboratory time will reflect concepts presented in lecture and treatment will be demonstrated.
