| Description |
This introductory program will feature an overview of pediatric orthopedic issues, including skeletal modeling mechanisms and influences, the benefits of full-term
gestation as a biomechanical basis for optimum skeletal modeling, selected movement-driven skeletal design as a biomechanical basis for optimum skeletal modeling, and the influences of body weight distribution and somatosensory input on antigravity motor skills acquisition and skeletal modeling. The speakers will present the fundamentals of S.A. Sahrmann’s muscle balance theory as they manifest in skeletal modeling of the torso and lower extremities, as well as musculoskeletal assessment procedures used to detect skeletal modeling errors and to monitor management effects. These principles and events are applied to pathomechanics commonly observed in children with neuromotor disorders. Video case studies will illustrate the relevance of the findings obtained in musculoskeletal assessment.
