Clinical Analysis of 24 Adult Foot Types:
A Comprehensive Approach to Determining Orthotic Intervention

This 2  days program covers basic and advanced foot biomechanical principles and evaluation techniques, which allows the practitioner to return to their clinic with the knowledge and confidence needed to institute an effective and successful foot orthotic program.

It combines "traditional Rootian theory" with contemporary theory in order to provide a more thorough and sensible explanation to normal and pathological gait. A modern theory of 24 Adult Foot Types is presented, as the instructors explain the clinical impact of these foot types on foot biomechanics, muscle function during gait, and how the mechanics of each foot type can predict a patient's predisposition to particular musculoskeletal pathologies.

Lecture is alternated with detailed lab time that includes identifying rearfoot and forefoot deformities in non-weightbearing, static and dynamic gait evaluation, and obtaining STN slipper casts for the purpose of orthotic fabrication. Most importantly, a simple, inexpensive method of digital photography and video gait analysis is introduced that can be easily implemented in your clinic to identify a patient's foot type and orthotic needs.
