In this webinar, attendees will learn the brain mechanism behind external cueing and how it can impact the quality of gait mechanics. We will demonstrate practical cueing techniques to implement in gait training to correct and improve gait abnormalities that arise due to a variety of neurological illness or old age.

Objectives:

  • Understand the brain mechanism behind external cueing.
  • Explore the impact of cueing on gait mechanics, including speed, step length and frequency, timing, and foot clearance.
  • Examine how cueing affects ADLs (Activities of Daily Living) and enhances the overall quality of life.
  • Learn from real-life examples and applications in different populations, including stroke patients, Parkinson’s disease, multiple sclerosis (MS), and general deconditioning.
