Overview
The course aims to broaden knowledge of the foot through an overview of the anatomy and biomechanics of the foot, a focused explanation on the interpretation of data from specific equipment and tests, and presentation of the various materials available.
An overview of the main pathologies and clinical conditions that lead to the use of custom insoles and shoes will be the part that most unites the course attendees: physiatrists, orthopaedists, physiotherapists and orthopaedic technicians.
There will also be a session on electronic baropodometry, both static and dynamic gait assessment, and essential examinations for specialists who want to prescribe and assess custom orthopaedic insoles and shoes. The results of these tests will allow the various specialists to understand how to assess the patient and the technologies applied when making orthoses.
