Course Description:

Foot orthotics can help maintain and improve mobility and performance. Selecting the best orthotic requires an understanding of the current technology used to create off the shelf, semi-custom, and custom orthotics, and determining which option is the most appropriate for your patient. This course is for intermediate and advanced learners who have knowledge of foot and lower extremity anatomy and evaluation. Through a series of case studies, learners will gain an understanding of the available features or modifications to address common alignment issues or lower extremity complaints. Special considerations, including cost, patient characteristics, comorbidities, and activity level, are discussed.
