This informative lecture and lab-based course will focus on applying TASES to the upper and lower quarters and the pelvis. The course focuses on balance and function in activities such as sitting, standing, reaching, grasping, creeping, and gait. We also review ideal posture and alignment, updated literature on spasticity management, and changes in thinking on pediatric neuromuscular disorders.
