ORTHOPAEDIC AND NEUROLOGICAL CONDITIONS OF THE LOWER LIMB - DR ALLAN TERRETT
- Effective treatment of Lower Limb Syndromes relies on accurate Clinical Assessment
- Clinical Management Strategies for a selected group of common Lower Limb Syndromes
This course is designed to be theoretical and practical course, arming attendees with practical clinical knowledge and skills that they can use immediately in their practice. This course will equip attendees with knowledge of dysfunction and pathology of the neuromusculoskeletal systems of the hip, knee, ankle and foot. The examination findings and treatment of a selected group of clinical syndromes affecting these body regions will be presented. Delivered in a highly entertaining style with plenty of hands on learning. Extensive notes are supplied to minimise note taking and maximise learning. Practitioners are to bring their own reflex hammer & pinwheel (pins or safety pins).

Saturday 4th and Sunday 5th of December 2010 - RADISSON BLU HOTEL BRISTOL, BROAD QUAY, BS1 4BY
ASSESSMENT OF CRANIAL NERVES, BRAINSTEM AND SPINAL CORD-DR ALLAN TERRETT
- Patients present to practitioners with symptoms that could (though very rarely) indicate serious pathology (eg. headache, pain, weakness)
- Such symptoms could be due to vertebral artery dissection, space occupying lesion, myelopathy etc., and
- To ignore such symptoms could lead to delay in appropriate treatment, residual neurological deficits, and even risk the patient's life.
- On completion of this seminar, practitioners will be able to understand and perform:
- a screening cranial nerve examination in less than 2 minutes,
- additional cranial nerve examination,
- examine long tracts of the brainstem and spinal cord, and
- Von Economo's system of examination for Central Nervous System disease.

11.30 - 11.45 Coffee break
11.45 - 13.00 DNS therapeutic approaches : Active exercise based on ontogenetic postural models
Course Goals
Course attendees will have a clear understanding of:
- The basic principles of developmental kinesiology.
- Development during the first year of life: stabilization of the spine in the sagittal plane, development
of the phasic movements coupled with trunk rotation.
- The relationship between development during the first year of life and pathology of the locomotor
system in adulthood.
- The reflex consequences following central neural programs during the first year of life.
2
- Functional stabilization of the spine
- Correction of poor stereotypical respiration.
- New terminology such as functional joint centration and decentration, stabilization, punctum fixum.
In addition, posture will be discussed from a developmental point of view.
- The most important principles of reflex locomotion: Locomotor patterns, stepping forward and
support function, support/stimulating zones.
Course attendees will possess:
- Skills to utilize the most important tests to evaluate the stabilizing system of the spine.
- Skills for evaluation of breathing stereotypes.
- The basic techniques for reflex locomotion used to activate ideal sagittal stabilization
- The most important techniques used in active treatment of the stabilizing system of the spine utilizing
the principles of ontogenesis and reflex locomotion.
With the above knowledge and skills, the attendee should be able to clinically apply these principles
for:
- Treatment of functional pathology of the locomotor system, vertebrogenic and radicular pain
syndromes where the deep stabilizing system of the spine plays a crucial role.
- Treatment of functional pathology of the locomotor system resulting from poor early development.
Course Description
Much attention has been given in recent years to the development, maintenance and decline of functional
stability of the locomotor system. Indeed, emerging research has proven the existence of the deep, or core,
stabilizing muscles and their impact in controlling safe joint motion. This is especially true for the joints of
the spinal column, where the complexity of the biomechanical and neurophysiological demands is
phenomenal. With the increased understanding of functional stability have arisen new theories regarding the
etiology of functional pathology and also of effective treatment methods to restore stability. Unfortunately,
these techniques have yielded less than satisfactory results for many frustrated clinicians. Some methods,
although based on sound principles, have been criticized as impractical.
It is during this period that a new method of intrinsic locomotor system stabilization has arisen to
dramatically gain the attention of rehabilitation specialists. Pavel Kolar, PaedDr., Ph.D. has indeed spawned
a new manual approach to activate the intrinsic system and achieve exciting levels of improved function in a
remarkably brief period. Based upon the principles of developmental kinesiology, the neurophysiological
aspects of the maturing locomotor system on which the Prague school was established, he has expanded the
scope of clinical options in an exciting new direction. Attendees to the course will be introduced to these
methods.
One of the most exciting aspects of the course is that this method describes the first new manual approach to
the treatment of radicular syndromes since Cox and McKenzie did so decades ago. The success of this
method has gained a great deal of interest among clinicians around the world.
