Managing Common Orthopedic Conditions with Orthotics (Barnett - Online)

Course overview

Shoes and inserts have changed significantly from the minimalistic options to the stability and rocker bottom options in shoes. Custom foot orthotics are often replaced with over-the-counter inserts. The use of practical shoe options with occasional inserts can greatly benefit patients with their functional weight-bearing activities. Understand how to recommend shoe and orthotic features that are indicated for lower extremity (LE)/foot complaints. Review common LE/foot dysfunctions and how they respond best to which shoe, and which inserts. Participants will take away practical recommendations that are time and cost-efficient in a cost-conscious healthcare market.
