Recently Karen Jiran, MPT, PRC taught at our one day clinical course in Crookston, Minnesota. Karen filled us in on how the course went:
“I had a great time up in Crookston, MN! The group was really excited and asked great questions!
- First, we reviewed the mechanics of footwear and how correct placement of scaphoid pads can help move a patient out of a Left AIC pattern. There was a problem with understanding the need to support the right arch and yet allow the right great toe to contact the ground to assist with weight shift to the left.
- Second, we hit the ZOA. We went over what the ZOA is and how we functionally need to ensure the ZOA is supported in all three planes with each integrated exercise.
- We reviewed and performed exercises to help understand where mistakes can easily be made.
- We discussed clues to looking at hip lift scores and when a person really is a 3 or 4 by assessing true trunk abduction. Just because a person can lift doesn’t mean they are a true 3 to 4. I expect to see trunk abduction as a part of the movement. I encouraged them to be picky when evaluating the test!
- We also reviewed progressing with right vs. left lower trap exercises and to be careful with Right Superior T4 patients.”
Here is what an attendee had to say about it:
- “This was an open conversation course! This was extremely helpful to address individual questions. The small group was conducive to understanding the deeper theories.”
