5th Ortopediatri Gait Analysis Course – Invitation Message
Dear Participants,
The assessment of movement disorders is one of the cornerstones of accurate diagnosis and effective treatment. As Ortopediatri, we are delighted to welcome you to the 5th Gait Analysis Course, which will be held on November 20–21–22.
Focusing on the integration of gait and movement analysis into clinical practice in children, this course offers a comprehensive program that combines theoretical knowledge with practical approaches. Prepared with the contributions of experienced academics in the field, the course includes up-to-date scientific evidence, case-based discussions, and hands-on sessions.
I warmly invite orthopedic surgeons, physiotherapists, and specialists from related disciplines who wish to incorporate gait analysis into their clinical practice to join this comprehensive educational program.
Let us learn together and move forward together.
On Behalf of the Course Organizing Committee,
Prof. Muharrem İnan, MD
