Advanced Foot and Leg Biomechanics Workshop Contents
This Workshop deals exclusively with the boimechanics of the Foot and Ankle. It is an intensive hands-on Workshop that will give you understanding of how the foot and ankle functions and you will also learn how to improve the function of the foot and ankle joints that in turn will increase the effectiveness of your prescription orthoses leading to an improved outcome which in turn leads to greater patient and podiatrist satisfaction.
Craig Payne told the undergraduate class at UWA that mobilisation and or manipulation of the foot and ankle joints should be performed prior to orthotic prescriptions being made.
