Evelina London Gait Analysis Course 2019

Evelina London Gait Analysis Course 2019 is organized by Guy's and St Thomas' NHS Foundation Trust (GSTT) and will be held from Aug 28 - 30, 2019 at Guy's Hospital, London, England, United Kingdom.

Who should attend?:
This course focuses on the clinical aspects of gait and the interpretation of gait analysis data. The course is suitable for professionals who have a clinical interest in understanding movement pathology. These professionals might include: physiotherapists, orthopaedic surgeons, rehabilitation physicians, paediatricians, neurologists, biomechanists, and orthotists. The course is suitable for individuals holding training and more senior posts.

Programme overview:
Learning to walk and maintaining walking ability are important aspects of human function. Gait analysis is the study of human walking. Many universities, hospitals and private institutions have instrumentation to measure walking but there are few courses available to teach clinicians and researchers the developmental, neurological and muscular physiology and mechanics of walking to help them interpret their data. This course will provide the attendees with an understanding of the factors that influence walking, and the knowledge required to interpret clinical gait data through a mixture of lectures and workshops, including case study discussions and the opportunity to observe a patient volunteer undergoing gait analysis in our gait laboratory.

Learning outcomes:
• Relevant knowledge of the development of human walking
• An understanding of key biomechanical and clinical measurement concepts
• An overview of gait analysis techniques and associated data to facilitate interpretation
• Ability to interpret and report clinical data according to an opinion-evidence model

Additional details will be posted as soon as they are available.
