The 11th Annual PFOLA Conference in Vancouver, which 250 participants attended this last few days, seemed to be one of the better ones that I have ever attended. Of note, I enjoyed seeing Drs. Peter Cavanagh, Irene Davis, Joe Hamill, Chris Nester and Karl Landorf all give their key-note lectures and even enjoyed seeing Craig Payne do one of his "pinch-hit" diabetes lectures with only about an hour of warning when one of the lecturers failed to bring a passport with him to the airport and didn't make his flight. Awesome job, Craig.

Karl Landorf gave a great lecture from his book chapter on orthosis research evidence and made a very convincing argument for the clinical usefulness of treating lower extremity stress fractures and "shin splints" with foot orthoses. Good job, Karl.
I enjoyed seeing and getting to speak with many of my international colleagues there. It seemed like most everyone thought that the program was a good balance of both the leading research in foot and lower extremity biomechanics and clinical application in the workshops. Next year's PFOLA meeting will be in Atlanta in October 2009. If you have never attended the meeting, it is one of the better seminars for those that have an interest in foot and lower extremity biomechanics.
