Covering this:
•Prefabricated vs custom: What when? Evidence vs clinical experience.
•Comparing the prefabs – how do they stack up?
•Gait retraining vs orthotic modification of gait
•Custom shell formation – pros & cons of milled vs vacuum
•Practical steps to improve outcomes
•More on ‘Forces vs Motion’
•Whats going on with our understanding of ankle joint motion: range of motion vs stiffness
•Lateral wedging for knee OA
•To measure or not?
•Linking the biomechanical assessment to the orthotic prescription
•What you really need to look for in a visual gait assessment
•Indications for different orthotic prescription variables
•Pro’s & Con’s of negative model production:
1. Plaster casts
2. STS Sock
3. Foam impressions
4. Optical scans
5. Others
• The dissonance between clinical practice and the research evidence.
• Evaluation of different approachs to prescribing foot orthoses:
1. Resurrecting the tradition al approach (Root et al)
2. Pressure mapping (Dananberg, Williams et al)
3. Pathology specific prescribing (Shearer, Huppin)
4. The windlass (McPoil et al)
5. Functional foot typing (Shavelson)
6. Bottom block theory (Glaser)
7. Tissue stress (Hunt, McPoil, Kirby, Fuller et al)
8. High gear/low gear axes (Bojsen-Mollor)
9. Functional foot drop (Clancy)
10. STJ equilibrium (Kirby)
11. Prefered motion pathway (Nigg)
• The role & importance of the lateral column
• The importance of the fibula
• When to preload the hallux (the Cluffy Wedge; The kinetic wedge)
• Plantar fascial grooves – what, when, how?
• Clinical tests to improve prescribing and outcomes:
- Its "not the orthotic"
1. Jacks
2. Supination resistance
3. Forefoot stability
4. Tolerance
5. Lunge
I will post more details and registration brochure soon.
