Beyond the Gait: A Day in Rehabilitation Medicine
Why compatibility, collaboration and context matter
Through four clinical cases and gait videos, Dr Liz Thompson takes the audience through a day in rehabilitation medicine—from assessment, tone management and botulinum toxin to orthoses and multidisciplinary care.
Beyond biomechanics, she explores compatibility, confidence, compliance and outcomes, and how disability, neurodivergence, identity and healthcare systems shape whether an intervention actually works in everyday life.
