  • Categorize the Fast and Slow phases of an imbalance asymmetrical gait and define rehabilitation strategies to remedy the gait pathology.
  • Develop a conceptual overview of how step length and stride length change in a limping gait.

Hour 2

  • Discuss the critical function of the deep neck flexors and transverse abdominus, and how they related to gait, especially the running athlete.
  • Identify the 3 compartments of the thoracolumbar fascia and translate them into gait concepts and treatment concepts.
  • Develop treatment concepts in addressing this asymmetry and define in-phase and out-of-phase arm and leg swing assimilation
  • Discuss on a surface level the concepts of speed in gait, and how to adjust the speed of one's gait to break down gait components that might lead to better treatment directions.
  • Describe central pattern generators and relate to arm swing on a neurologic level.
  • Recognize some common gait abnormalities seen in gait analysis such as arm swing, step length, the cross over gait, and develop mental strategies in evaluating the 3 cardinal planes of motion and potential failures in the loading of these planes when it comes to these gait parameters.

The purpose of this broad ranging 2 part , 2 hour video course is to expose the student to some broad, yet deeply reaching concepts on how the body moves,  loads, compensates and strategizes when there is weakness, immature sensory-motor patterns, injury,  and asymmetries in the body.   Visual cases and video will be used to discuss these topics. Though a broad lecture, it will require some basics of gait  phases and principles to fully grasp the depth of the topics discussed. Please consider first taking our basics of gait classes prior to delving into this complex lecture.

Hour 1
  • Appreciate the current epidemiologic trends in autoimmune incidence, morbidity and mortality in the Western industrialized countries versus the under-developed world.
  • Acknowledge the importance placed in human biology on mucosal immunity and the massive amount of immune tissue and functional resources dedicated to GI mucosal immune surveillance.
  • Comprehend the linkage and association between autoimmune disease prevalence and factors including the GI microbiota composition, stealth infections, and molecular mimicry.
  • Apply clinical laboratory testing related to autoimmune disease risk assessment and diagnosis, including qPCR molecular-based evaluation of the GI microbiota.
Hour 2
  • Identify the differences in methodology and application between quantitative molecular testing (qPCR) versus next-generation sequencing of the GI microbiota in the support of clinical decision making.
  • Synthesize the available evidence-based integrative and complementary therapeutic GI antimicrobial interventions for treating GI dysbiosis, including in subjects with autoimmune disorders.
  • Explore the linkage and association between autoimmune disease prevalence and food immune reactions and sensitivities.
  • Apply the available evidence-based integrative and complementary therapeutic interventions using pro and pre-biotics for improving the GI ecology in subjects with autoimmune disorders.
Hour 3
  • Identify the linkage and association between autoimmune disease prevalence and factors including lack of early diverse antigen exposure (i.e., the hygiene hypothesis).
  • Interpret the available predictive autoantibody test options for autoimmune disorders.
  • Learn to determine when to order the available clinical laboratory testing related to autoimmune disease risk assessment, diagnosis, and clinical management, including qPCR molecular-based evaluation of the GI microbiota, various food sensitivity assays, and predictive autoantibody tests.
  • Apply evidence-based integrative and complementary therapeutic interventions for improvement of the GI mucosal health and barrier function (i.e., leaky-gut syndrome) in autoimmune disorders.
Hour 4
  • Utilize clinical decision making related to the linkage and association between autoimmune disease prevalence and individual factors, including the GI microbiota composition, food immune reactions, stealth infections, molecular mimicry, and lack of early diverse antigen exposure, in practical clinical cases.
  • Interpret the available clinical laboratory testing related to autoimmune disease risk assessment, diagnosis, and clinical management, including qPCR molecular-based evaluation of the GI microbiota and predictive autoantibody tests in specific practical clinical case scenarios.
  • Apply the available evidence-based integrative and complementary therapeutic interventions for autoimmune disorders in specific practical clinical case scenarios.
  • Refer to other medical specialists and collaborative care opportunities in complex autoimmune disease clinical case scenarios.
