| Pediatrics — Head to Toe | |
| This head to foot approach is built around a continuum of modeling concepts for soft tissue and bone. Creating a positive impact on these developing structures ensures functional competence of the biomechanical model and serves to enhance activities of daily living at many levels for the young child. The first day and a half covers the STAR family of cranial remolding orthoses. Topics include but are not limited to: cranial anatomy, indications and contraindications, synostosis and surgical indications, evaluation and measurement of various head shapes, patient evaluation, casting procedures, fitting and follow-up protocols, documentation and quantification of outcomes, and developmental milestones. Orthomerica’s new Newport Jr. Hip Orthosis, TC Flex lower extremity orthotic system and pediatric spinal orthoses will be discussed in detail during last half of the second day. | |
