Discussion and feedback on previous Boot Camps

Selected Content (content is constantly evolving and being added to):
- Short or long term use of foot orthotics?
- Deconstruction all the social media crap on foot orthotics and running form
- Why do overuse injuries occur?
- Lower the force or increase the ability of the tissue to take the force?
- How to increase the ability of tissues to take the force, so maybe orthotics aren't needed.
- How to spot cherry picking, confirmations bias and the usual trope of argumentative fallacies in foot orthotic debates
- Toning Shoes
- Minimalism vs Maximalism
- What?s more important: Proximal or distal control of the lower limb? (ie is it the foot or is it the hip?)
- Tabulation of foot orthotic design features for prescription variables
- When to run which way; deciding which running ?form? is better for which individual
- Making clinical decisions in the context of all the online and media driven rhetoric and propaganda about foot biomechanics, orthotics and injury
- Running shoes, foot orthotics and their effect on muscle strength (myths vs the science)
- Advising runners and facilitating the transition to different running forms
- Increased understanding of the role of fascia in foot biomechanics
- Trends vs Fads; the gullibility of the athletic market
- The running shoes and knee osteoarthritis debacle
- What role do impact forces really play in injury?
- "I read on a blog that orthotics are evil and should be banned"
- What to do in the absence of evidence
- Solving the problem of which running shoe prescription when
- Role of forces vs role of motion; the pronation myth; the foot orthoses paradox
- Clinical tests to derive orthotic prescription variables
- Foot orthotic design features to deliver the prescription variables
- Supination resistance; axis variations; lunge test; windlass forces; role of 'stiffness'
- Pathology specific prescribing
- Patellofemoral pain syndrome; medial knee osteoarthritis; Achilles tendinitis
- Negative model method; positive model production
- Custom vs library vs prefabricated; different approaches (MASS; FTT; etc)
Break out practical sessions are held to demonstrate and practice clinical tests.
