Theory and Practice over two days | Suitable for all levels of experience
Mission statement:
The application of all the most recent thought, concepts, ideas, theories and research on foot biomechanics and foot orthotics into clinical practice.
Objectives:
At the end of this course, participants will:
• Have a greater understanding of the most recent concepts, ideas, theories and research that could impact on the clinical practice of biomechanics and foot orthoses
• Better critically evaluate their own clinical practice in the context of the most recent concepts, ideas, theories and research on clinical biomechanics and foot orthoses
Content:
* Role of forces vs motion
* Clinical tests to improve prescribing and clinical outcomes
* Linking the biomechanical assessment to the orthotic prescription
* Practical applications of newer theoretical approaches
* The role of foot orthoses in sensory input
* A re-evaluation of foam box casting
* Where are we at we understanding the ankle joint – stiffness vs range of motion
* What needs to be altered with foot orthoses to affect outcomes
* Lateral wedging for medial knee osteoarthritis
* Foot orthotic clinical decision making
* Practical steps to improve outcomes
* What is stiffness and what does it mean for clinical practice
* The latest on patellofemoral pain and foot orthoses
* The role & importance of the lateral column
* When to preload the hallux
* Plantar fascial grooves – what, when, how?
* The dissonance between clinical practice and the research evidence
* Prefabricated vs custom: What and when? - Evidence vs clinical experience.
*Gait retraining vs orthotic modification of gait
* More…..
