About Course
Therapeutic Guide to Ankle and Foot Anatomy Aim to:
This physiotherapy webinar on ankle and foot anatomy is designed to provide participants with a comprehensive understanding of the structure, function, and biomechanics of the ankle and foot. The webinar will cover the bones, joints, ligaments, muscles, and nerves that make up the ankle and foot complex, as well as common injuries and conditions that affect this region.
- The webinar will be delivered by experienced physiotherapists who specialize in the treatment of ankle and foot injuries. They will use a combination of lecture presentations, interactive discussions, and practical demonstrations to facilitate learning and engage participants.
- The webinar will begin with an overview of the anatomy of the ankle and foot, including the bones, joints, and ligaments that provide stability and mobility to the lower limb. Participants will learn about the function of each structure and how they work together to support weight-bearing, walking, and running.
- The CPD webinar will then cover common injuries and conditions that affect the ankle and foot, such as sprains, strains, fractures, and plantar fasciitis. Participants will learn how to recognize the signs and symptoms of these conditions and how to assess and treat them using physiotherapy techniques.
- In addition, the CPD webinar will address biomechanical issues that contribute to ankle and foot injuries, such as gait abnormalities, muscle imbalances, and footwear choices. Participants will learn how to identify these issues and develop effective treatment plans to address them.
- Throughout the CPD webinar, participants will have the opportunity to ask questions and engage in discussions with the presenters and other participants. They will also be provided with access to online resources and practical exercises to reinforce their learning and support their clinical practice.
By the end of the webinar, participants will have a thorough understanding of ankle and foot anatomy and the skills and knowledge necessary to assess and treat common injuries and conditions affecting this region. They will be able to apply this knowledge in their clinical practice to provide effective and evidence-based physiotherapy care to their patients.
Learning Objective:
At the end of the webinar the learner will be knowledgeable about :
- Identify and describe the anatomy of the ankle and foot, including the bones, joints, ligaments, muscles, and nerves that make up this complex region.
- Recognize and diagnose common injuries and conditions that affect the ankle and foot, such as sprains, strains, fractures, and plantar fasciitis.
- Develop and apply effective physiotherapy treatment plans for ankle and foot injuries and conditions, using a variety of techniques and modalities.
- Analyze and address biomechanical issues that contribute to ankle and foot injuries, such as gait abnormalities, muscle imbalances, and footwear choices, in order to prevent future injuries and promote optimal function.
