| Description |
Parents of young children with a chronic neurological condition place a high priority on the attainment of walking. The purpose of this course is to introduce a model of determinants for walking readiness in young children with cerebral palsy and review evidence-based interventions for over-ground and treadmill walking, including home-based intensive treadmill training protocols. Reliable and valid tools to predict and measure walking outcomes will be discussed. The course will include results from the authors' own research studies. Case presentations of children with neuromotor impairment will illustrate intervention activities via audio-visual materials.
