Event Overview
Designed for rehabilitation professionals working with pediatric populations, this course provides an evidence-informed approach to pediatric ankle Turtle Bracing using a remoldable orthotic system. Participants will learn a practical clinical framework for evaluating children, determining candidacy for ankle Turtle Bracing, establishing treatment goals, selecting and fitting an ankle Turtle Brace, educating caregivers, and progressively remolding the brace as the child grows and/or range of motion improves. Through lecture, demonstration, hands-on laboratory instruction, and competency assessment, participants will develop the skills necessary to confidently integrate pediatric ankle Turtle Bracing into clinical practice. Unlike traditional orthotic courses that primarily teach brace application, this certification emphasizes ongoing clinical management through the process of Evaluate → Apply → Progress.
