Therapeutic Casting for the Lower Extremity
In Person, Hands-On 3 day Course
This course will provide the knowledge base and practical skills for use of casting materials to manage common impairments in pediatric and neurologic patient populations. Participants will learn to identify appropriate candidates for casting, problem solve which materials and techniques are appropriate for various clinical presentations, and evaluate progress. The course will emphasize the current evidence related to casting and foot/ankle intervention, the importance of differential diagnosis, and the use of the therapist’s manual intervention before and during casting to maximize therapeutic effects of casts. Attendees will learn to align casts for therapeutic gait and standing, and to problem-solve orthotic selection after casting is complete. This is a hands-on lab course, and participants receive a detailed casting manual as a reference tool. This course was selected and presented as a pre-conference course at the Combined Sections Meeting of the American Physical Therapy Association (CSM) in 2019. Recommended prerequisite: Ambulation, Activity, and AFOs. Course is offered when hosted through a facility or group.
