DAY 1: | Saturday, January 28, 2012 - Sagittal Balance Course |
7:15 am | Breakfast |
8:00 am | Welcome - Objectives of the Course Sagittal balance is a complex topic. In order to understand the concepts, a different type of educational course is needed. This course is modeled on a European program, designed by Professor Jean-Charles LeHuec, teaching at Bordeaux University Medical School, member of the European Education Commission. A comprehensive approach of the balance concept will be presented. The course is designed to introduce concepts slowly with adequate time for questioning and discussion before moving on to more advanced concepts. There is a ‘hands on’ approach to measuring spinal X-rays - both plain film with grease pencil and retractor and the use of software for digital images. Worldwide specialists very well known will provide their expertise through didactic presentations and clinical cases precisely selected. The program will also include practical X-ray analysis of clinical cases and workshop approach with breakout sessions to help identify appropriate treatments. |
