Demonstrates how abnormal foot mechanics can contribute to lower extremity pathology. Uses lecture presentations, literature review, and discussions of clinical presentations and case studies to offer students an opportunity to gain an understanding of normal and abnormal gait as it relates to orthopedic dysfunction and to learn various treatment interventions to address faulty biomechanics.
