Course Overview
What causes crouch gait, and how can understanding its underlying mechanisms improve rehabilitation outcomes?
This course explores the complex neurological, sensory, and biomechanical factors that contribute to crouch gait, a common movement pattern in individuals with neuromuscular conditions. Rather than focusing solely on visible gait abnormalities, you’ll gain a deeper understanding of how body perception, sensory feedback, psychological safety, and motor control influence walking.
Designed for healthcare professionals working in neurorehabilitation, the course combines scientific understanding with practical therapeutic strategies to help identify contributing factors, prevent deterioration, and improve functional mobility and patient independence.

"The course is very well structured, contains a lot of theoretical knowledge and is also put directly into practice with the two case studies. I am looking forward to being able to apply the knowledge I have acquired."

"I found the course very exciting, with a logical flow and lots of good suggestions for everyday life."

"Balanced relationship between theory and practice, knowledge transfer and self-control, very exciting and instructive!"

"Fox reading aloud, multiple-choice questions to answer, video explanations and drawings make it varied, interesting and exciting! Bravo"

"The training is very well structured and organized. Good repetition of the anatomy and subsequent explanation for splint construction."

"Thank you very much for this free course. I only knew the GMFCS and the MACS level before. But as a speech therapist, the CFCS is also very interesting for me. "

"Super good concept and great structure, the questions in the final test could vary a little from the course content to really check understanding."

"Best lesson in cerebral palsy for the upper extremities I have ever had in 35 years of professional experience!"

"I really liked the patient examples. As well as the repetition with the questions. Overall, it was a great, intensive course that lasted more than 8 hours 😉 "

"The course is very well structured, contains a lot of theoretical knowledge and is also put directly into practice with the two case studies. I am looking forward to being able to apply the knowledge I have acquired."

"I have realized how important neurodynamics is in neurological rehabilitation and will approach my patients with a different mindset in the future. Thank you for the good overview and the interactive structure. The individual patient examples were also very helpful."

"Thank you for such a valuable tool! I appreciate the high standard of clear, evidence-based and practical presentation - it's a success. And of course I'm delighted that it doesn't cost anything, which makes it easy to spread the word."

"I was hoping for an update on the subject of neuroplasticity. I have now learned a lot of new things that can be clearly related to practice. I really appreciated the fact that I was able to work through the lessons more than once and interrupt them at any time."

"The course was very intensive, took me longer than 5 hours of study and helped me a lot with my understanding. I think home study with free time organization is great!"
