Additional Information

Gait speed has been referred to as the sixth vital sign. Research has correlated decreased gait speed to a wide variety of health presentations including increased fall risk and increased mortality risk. This course will specifically discuss the anatomy involved in human gait and how specific health impairments cause loss of gait speed. The course willalso discuss many of the new technologies being studied and developed to help populations with diminished gait speed. Finally, the course will provide specific strategies that the clinician can use to improve gait speed in the rehab setting.

Target Audience: Physical Therapists, Physical Therapist Assistants, Athletic Trainers

paul frizelle is by far my favorite teacher. i have taken numerous ceu courses and he does the best job with overall review of anatomy, injury, clinical examination and treatment prescription. he is the best at making the ceu an appropriate level, relevant, and with slides and material you can remember. a lot of teachers struggle with going either too in-depth or focusing on one aspect that they prefer in their practice. not bad, but not as good as paul does it. highly recommended teacher and one i look for specifically.
