About this In-service:

This 1 hr interactive workshop will look at the sensory input at terminal stance and the motor requirements for dynamic propulsion. Participants will review the current neurophysiology regarding terminal stance in the gait cycle. We will then look at how we can integrate this into our client based practices. The workshop will be directed toward both the MSK and neuro populations. There will be a voluntary practical component to this session.
