Introduction

Various tools are used to assess the paediatric population, from functional assessments to specific outcome measures. Assessing a child’s functional movement patterns provides information on their strength, range of motion, tone and coordination. Standardised assessment tools offer more detail on specific components and enable comparisons with age-matched norms. This course explores how to assess a child using functional movements and introduces three commonly used standardised outcome measures.

Aims

This course aims to introduce the functional movement analysis and standardised assessment tools for the paediatric population.

Featured reviews

This course should be a must for every physiotherapist in adult therapy. Not only does movement analysis in children use the same planes, directions and muscles, but it is also more flexible, creative and functional than the standardised analyses we have become accustomed to in adults, especially in our sports populations. Krista Eksay guides us through the content systematically and structure and provides practical tips that we can implement immediately to sharpen our focus and recognise deficits. It is also an excellent review of motor development, with demonstrations and food for thought.

It was a well-laid-out course, with good assessment structuring ideas and standardized test outcomes. Especially great for therapists returning to treating children after having a different client base or being on leave for a while.

This course builds confidence in handling motor-related issues in children. It makes one be on top of his game. It authenticates the professionalism that one has.
