“Treatment and Prescription Variations in Spastic Diplegia - A Practical Exploration”
Presented by Peacocks Medical Group - in association with The International Society for Prosthetics and Orthotics
Date: Saturday 15 January 2011

Location: The Centre For Life, Times Square, Newcastle upon Tyne
This year’s conference invites you to sit within a multi-disciplinary team and contribute to a proposed treatment and orthotic prescription for someone with Spastic diplegia. Detailed clinical information will be provided along with gait data and video.
This exercise will be performed simultaneously by two other multi-disciplinary groups after which the treatments and prescriptions compared and discussed.
Whilst delegates are encouraged to actively participate, it is also an opportunity for those with less experience to observe the process.
It is anticipated that at least two other subjects will be assessed by other groups and results compared and shared with the audience.
The aim of the conference is to expose variation and consider benefits in different approaches, it is hoped this will yield useful information of interest to others and it is hoped results will be documented and published for others to share.
