Description:

Evaluation and Treatment Plans for Common Pediatric Musculoskeletal and Movement Problems
With the The survival of cerebral palsy is in danger due to the rising incidence the The smallest premature infants and the Torticollis has been increasing in incidence. Any professionals who work with children in an outpatient, inpatient, school or home environment will be asked for their assessment. and Children with movement should be treated and neuromuscular disorders. A diagnosis of “cerebral palsy” Or “developmental delay” This is a very general statement and If a professional is asked to treat a child suffering from one of these diagnoses, or other general diagnoses, they must have a solid understanding of the subject. the Evaluation tools and Treatment options that will help the Provision of an individual, safe, and A program that is effective for every child.

This recording will assist attendees in making their choice the Standardized assessment tool for best results and Non-Standardized) for each patient and Take a look at the complete picture the Patient by following an orderly approach to general observations (PIQ).-ture). Goal-Setting and Each type of patient will receive a different treatment plan. “evidence-based” Treatment ideas and Standard protocols are used. Leave with many hands-Ideas that are immediately applicable the You can practice with many resources. and Ideas for further research.
