PReS School Webinar Replay: pGALS and Clinical Examination

Date: 30.09.2026

Now Available!

As we prepare to launch the next two-year PReS Introductory Course webinar programme, we are revisiting one of the most important foundational topics in paediatric rheumatology: pGALS (Pediatric Gait, Arms, Legs and Spine).

Originally presented as the opening session of the PReS Core Knowledge in Pediatric Rheumatology series, this recorded webinar remains highly relevant for physicians and healthcare professionals involved in the care of children with rheumatic diseases.

Led by Prof. Helen Foster, the session provides an introduction to pGALS, demonstrates key examination manoeuvres, explores its global use, and illustrates its application through a practical case-based approach.

Whether you are new to paediatric rheumatology or looking to refresh your clinical examination skills, this webinar offers valuable background knowledge ahead of the new Introductory Course cycle.
