Abstract

When a patient requires pre-fabricated or prescription orthotics, there is then the need to determine the correct shoe to complement the orthotic. One pair of orthotics will perform 100 different ways in 100 different pairs of shoes. This can completely distort the result we are after or potentially even injure the patient if they are left to choose for themselves, or get less than expert advice. In this session I will discuss how to observe an athlete's existing shoes for indications of wear, certain gait irregularities which can result in injury and as a guide to the next pair.
