Workshop duration: 9h-12h
Location: TUM CAMPUS


Free of charge with conference ticket
Registration mandatory


Presenters:
Prof Sérgio T. Fonseca (Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais, Brazil)

Summary:

This workshop will delve into the complexities of ankle joint instability, emphasizing the role of connective tissue continuity on joint stability. Participants will gain insights into the latest research findings and practical applications for understanding and treating ankle instability. The session will cover the ankle joint's biomechanics, the fascia's role in perception and stability, and innovative therapeutic techniques. Through interactive discussions and hands-on demonstrations, attendees will enhance their clinical skills and knowledge, enabling them to implement elective treatment strategies in their practice. References to relevant research articles will be provided to support the content discussed.
