| Description |
Evidence based (informed/guided) therapy begins with knowing the studies that support your practice patterns. This fast paced day will intertwine the latest research with real case stories of infants and children toddlers who have moderate to severe gross motor dysfunction (GMFCS Levels IV and V).
Pediatric seating and positioning challenges and solutions will be discussed using interactive participant response units. We will explore how spinal curves are formed, the consequences of inactivity, specific interventions to protect hips, and how common seating applications could deform a growing pelvis. Two studies on dynamic seating will be reviewed to assist in choosing the right child for these systems.
