Guiding Paths: Finding the Best Routes to Manage Excessive Pronation
Date and Time
Location
Courtyard by Marriott Jonesboro
Course Description:
CEUs: 2.5
This live course provides extensive review on the importance of early movement patterns and how it affects postural control, gait, and other upright motor skills. Patients with low muscle tone, high muscle tone, and sensory dysfunction often develop compensations in early movement patterns. These compensations negatively affect alignment, muscle activation patterns, and motor skills moving forward. This course highlights what these compensations are and how we can address them within the population subsets of hypotonia, hypertonia, and sensory dysfunction with dynamic orthotic solutions. The objectives of the orthotic interventions presented are to drive better postural control, improve alignment and muscle activation, to help create new movement strategies and improve gross motor acquisition especially when patients have excessive pronation that is symptomatic. Throughout the program, learners will participate in large group discussions of in-depth case studies. These case studies will prepare the learner to evaluate and assess for orthotic solutions.

Shaping the Future: Effective Management of Infant Headshapes with Sprout3D™
This live webinar course is designed to introduce providers to the process and benefits of providing the Surestep Sprout3D™ cranial remolding orthosis (CRO). The newly designed cranial remolding orthosis is fabricated via additive manufacturing. By creating an easy to use, patient friendly device, families can gain confidence that will allow them to be more compliant in treatment, resulting in better overall outcomes. This custom fabricated CRO is also an efficient solution for providers. It offers a consistent and precise anatomical fit that improves referral relationships, outcomes and decreases frustrations that can accompany more traditional CRO options. After completing the course, providers will feel confident evaluating, fitting, adjusting and graduating patients from the Surestep Sprout3D™ cranial remolding orthosis.
