Program Information:
Today's clinicians are challenged to resolve patient problems in increasingly shorter time frames.  This intermediate course provides the clinician with practical, evidence based biofeedback tools for achieving motor control quickly during closed chain lower extremity functional activities.  The goal of the course is to provide an interactive environment to discuss the kinematics of normal functional motion and to apply biofeedback to evaluate and correct that motion.  Lab presentations will include gait analysis, single leg step up/step down and sit to stand with a focus on the kinematics of skeletal segments in the lower extremities.   Emphasis is placed on identifying and correcting the underlying problematic motion using visual biofeedback.  The clinicians attending this course will be able to immediately apply this information in the clinical setting.

Program Instructor: 
Wendy Stimson, PT, MBA graduated from California State University, Fresno in 1979. She has been in private practice in Los Altos, California for the last 20 years.  Wendy developed and has successfully used this biofeedback technique for the last 5 years.
