Understanding foot orthoses: applying principles into practice

-- Ian Griffiths --

Foot orthoses are a commonly used treatment modality for may lower limb pathologies. A clinician’s confidence in discussing the relative merits and benefits of orthoses (as well as the limitations and risks) is usually strongly related to their level of understanding about them.

In this PowerTalk we will be covering what we currently know and don’t know about foot orthoses, and how we use this information to make clinical decisions. Along the way we will cover the 3 most commonly asked questions about them; Are they a life sentence? Do they make feet weak? Are custom made superior to off the shelf?
