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.
