Orthopedics 226 Gait & Lumbar Spine CE | CCEDseminars

• Anatomy & Physiology of the Lumbopelvic Region — current understanding of paraspinal muscles and multifidi function; lumbopelvic anatomy as a foundation for gait interpretation.
• Fatty Infiltration — what current literature suggests about fatty infiltration in the lumbar spine; clinical relevance for chronic lower back pain and functional assessment.
• Gait and Lumbopelvic Biomechanics — biomechanical aspects of gait; how gait mechanics may influence the lumbopelvic region; movement patterns, coordination, and clinical observation.
• Chiropractic Considerations — clinical approaches for managing gait and lumbar spine considerations; communication, documentation, and outcome awareness.

Orthopedics 226 is a 2-hour online chiropractic CE course on the intersection of gait and low back pain: lumbopelvic anatomy including the paraspinal muscles and multifidi, the emerging literature on fatty infiltration in the lumbar spine, gait and lumbopelvic biomechanics, chronic lower back pain outcomes, and chiropractic clinical considerations — with clear-eyed guidance on the appropriate limits of gait interpretation. Chiropractors may search for it as a gait analysis course, a lumbopelvic CE, or a chronic low back pain course.

Yes. CCEDseminars is PACE Provider #34015544, recognized by the Federation of Chiropractic Licensing Boards (FCLB), with courses accepted in 40+ U.S. states, Canadian provinces, and international jurisdictions.

Walking loads the lumbopelvic region with every stride, and in patients with chronic low back pain, gait can reveal movement adaptations, trunk-pelvis coordination changes, and functional limitations that connect directly to their symptoms. Research also links chronic low back pain with changes in the deep spinal stabilizers, including fatty infiltration of the multifidi. Orthopedics 226 teaches chiropractors to read those patterns as one useful clinical lens — and to know the limits of what gait findings alone can say.

Orthopedics 226 awards 2 chiropractic CE hours. Your certificate is issued electronically the moment you complete the course and quiz, and is available in your CCEDseminars account. Completions auto-report to CE Broker for participating states.

Doctors who take Orthopedics 226 often add Orthopedics 207: Finger to Floor & Sit-n-Reach, 219: The Hip, and 225: Stress Fracture — following the gait and loading chain from functional testing through the kinetic chain. Orthopedics 201–224 courses also count toward the 48-hour CCO certification.
