Root’s model treats the foot as a primarily structural-mechanical system, evaluating static alignment, classifying “deformities,” and inferring dynamic gait compensation from those static findings.

Rothbart’s model shifts the emphasis toward sensory input and postural control, arguing that foot structure affects posture and chronic pain through neurophysiological pathways...

Almost without exception, all ambulating feet pronate. What makes pronation bad (abnormal) or good (normal) has less to do with its magnitude and more to do with etiology.

Succinctly: foot pronation driven by the horizontal oscillations of the hips (e.g., hip-driven pronation) is good (normal) because it does not lead...

Has anyone here had experience as a clinical supervisor?
I've recently been looking at a local position that's opened, and was really quite excited about it, but the criteria seems to imply that you need a degree in education on top of podiatry(+clinical experience).

Is this an industry standard? I understand that a post-grad would be required for lecturing...

I will be doing some dry needling at uni for the first time in a few weeks and was hoping to read a few papers on it first. I must be looking in the wrong places as I can't seem to find anything. Can anyone recommend any to me?

I've only just discovered this forum and thought it would be a great place to share the first Podiatry MOOC with you all.

My name is Mark and I'm a Learning Technologist at Edge Hill University in the UK - recently I've been working alongside one of our Senior Lecturers to create a 4 week open online course called Podiatry Matters.

This course is intended to address issues...

I also posted this in one of the main forums but probably more relevant here. I have been accepted into Podiatry school this September and initially was really exited about this however I don't quite meet the eligibility criteria for bursary funding as I have a uk passport but have only been in the country 2 and a half years. I will be eligible first of April 2017 however obviously...

I'm currently in my second year as a podiatry student and I'm currently finding that a lot of things are suddenly beginning to make sense!

I was wondering - as professional or student podiatrist, which particular piece of research, journal article, book or similar has made the biggest impact to you in your career to date?

Cheers,

I'm trying to track down what stand-alone training courses may exist for nail surgery & anaethesia.

We have a Podiatrist who needs this, as it did not form part of her original qualification.

The course would need to be recognised by AHPRA, the registration board in Australia. And, as we're in Tasmania, a block course rather than day release is preferable. We found one course in...

I'm considering to study podiatry for a career change as a mature-age student, and would like to know more about the course and learning experience from current students or graduates from these two unis.

I've had experience living in both brisbane and adelaide, love both. So it all comes down the course, I would really appreciate if you guys could hopefully let me know...
