GRAB YOUR FREE "FOOT DEFORMITY CHALLENGE" LESSON
This 15-minute lesson is drawn from the course Development and Conservative Management of Pediatric Equinus Deformity - Part 1. Inside this lesson, Billi Cusick, PT, MS, NDT, COF/BOC reviews common pediatric foot deformities in children with cerebral palsy with a fresh perspective.
Do you work with children with both neuromotor dysfunction and feet? If you're nodding along, then listen up. Billis says the foot is our body-ground interface. The more we know about how it works, the stronger we are in optimizing its function.

"FOOT DEFORMITY
CHALLENGE" LESSON
It will lead the way to observing foot deformities
with more clarity and specificity.
IN THIS LESSON IS A SERIES OF VISUAL QUIZZES
WHERE YOU WILL BE CHALLENGED TO:
Name foot deformities correctly based on primary loading segments
Identify the primary plane of involvement (sagittal, frontal, or transverse)
Use criteria to identify excessive standing foot pronation and supination
Recognize evidence of routine accelleration strategies.
FEEDBACK FROM COURSE ALUMNI
"Must do course for all paediatric physiotherapists, orthotists, aspiring orthopedists and PMR specialists. This is essential learning..."
Brinda Merchant
"My biggest takeaway was understanding foot mechanics and the variations in foot deformities."
Online course alumn
"I was told as an entry-level PT 10 years ago, to take any course I could with Billi Cusick to learn more about the foot and lower extremity alignment... This online format for Part 1 made it so much more attainable for me, and I'm so happy I was able to complete it. I took far more hours than 'needed,' took many notes, and have already reviewed many of the videos while I have access, and I feel like I'm giving my kiddos and their caregivers such better information already."

MEET YOUR INSTRUCTOR
Beverly (Billi) Cusick, PT, MS, NDT, COF/BOC is a global leader in building and sharing management strategies for children with neuromotor dysfunction. She is known for demanding clarity in nomenclature and scientific support for common interventions, for her attention to relevant details in evaluation, and for challenging conceptual and practical myths.
Billi built this webinar on an arc of information that begins with a review of functional foot and ankle anatomy, identifies and incorporates functional factors that serve typical and atypical ankle and foot development, and proposes equinus deformity management strategies that apply biomechanical and kinesiological principles to optimize postural control and movement.
