IC 32 - USE OF GAIT ANALYSIS IN SURGICAL TREATMENT PLANNING FOR PATIENTS WITH DEVELOPMENTAL DISABILITIES<br />
Authors: Robert M. Kay, MD; Deirdre Ryan, MD; Susan Rethlefsen, PT DPT<br />
Level: Intermediate<br />
Purpose: To educate attendees in use of gait analysis <strong>for</strong> evaluation <strong>and</strong> treatment planning <strong>for</strong> children with developmental disabilities.<br />
Target Audience: Physicians, physical <strong>and</strong> occupational therapists<br />
Course Summary: Faculty will introduce attendees to computerized gait analysis data collection <strong>and</strong> interpretation. They will discuss how<br />
data are used in planning <strong>for</strong> surgical <strong>and</strong> non-surgical intervention in children with CP <strong>and</strong> myelomeningocele. Discussion will focus on<br />
common clinical problems <strong>and</strong> ways gait analysis alters treatment plans. Content will be based on the presenters’ clinical expertise <strong>and</strong><br />
evidence-based review of literature. Computerized gait data, videos, photographs <strong>and</strong> x-rays will be used. Attendees will participate in<br />
breakout sessions in which gait data will be interpreted <strong>and</strong> treatment plans determined <strong>for</strong> sample cases.<br />
Learning Objectives:<br />
1) List common gait problems in CP <strong>and</strong> myelomeningocele.<br />
2) Identify deviations on joint kinematic, kinetic <strong>and</strong> EMG plots.<br />
3) Outline a treatment plan <strong>for</strong> a child with CP or myelomeningocele using gait analysis data.<br />
4) Gain perspective on the complexity of evaluation <strong>and</strong> treatment planning <strong>for</strong> children with developmental disabilities.<br />
