Course Description
Stable gait requires continuous integration of sensory feedback and motor control. In this session, Marc Pick investigates how activating cutaneous afferent pathways with elastic adhesive tape may influence gait stability. The presentation explores how sensory input from the skin contributes to posture, balance, and coordinated movement during walking. Participants will examine research evaluating whether targeted cutaneous stimulation can modify sensory feedback and enhance motor control. By stimulating peripheral sensory receptors, taping strategies may influence the neural circuits responsible for maintaining stable gait patterns. The lecture also discusses the broader implications of sensory stimulation techniques for rehabilitation and movement training. Clinicians will gain insight into how sensory-motor integration plays a critical role in gait stability and how simple external interventions may help support improved movement performance.

- Recognize the role of cutaneous afferent pathways in movement regulation.
- Identify how elastic adhesive tape may stimulate sensory receptors.
- Explore research examining taping interventions and gait performance.
