THE TWELFTH ANNUAL CLINICAL GAIT ANALYSIS CONFERENCE
cosponsored by Gillette Childrenis Specialty Healthcare & Connecticut
Children's Medical Center March 21-23, 2002 in St. Paul, MN. As
usual, it is a 3-Day Course and will be comprised of simultaneous Basic
and Advanced Courses. Excerpts from the course brochure follow.
The format and content of the Basic Course is the typical course offered
in the past. It will emphasize the development of basic skills in gait
analysis interpretation and associated treatment planning. The Advanced
Course will provide an opportunity for the more experienced clinician to
gain deeper insight into the complexities of gait interpretation for
children with disabilities. The treatment and interpretation of gait
data for ambulatory children with cerebral palsy will be the primary
focus for both courses.
