Orthotic Principles & Clinical Application: Gait, Pathologies, Casting, and Modification
About This Event
This two-hour session integrates gait analysis, pathology recognition, and precision casting into a single comprehensive learning experience. Participants will refine their understanding of how forefoot, midfoot, and rearfoot mechanics contribute to overuse patterns, tissue stress, and compensation through the kinetic chain.Through live demonstrations and hands-on discussion, the course details step-by-step casting in subtalar neutral, evaluation of pedigraph prints, recognition of leg length discrepancies, and communication with orthotic fabrication labs to ensure accurate modifications. Clinicians will leave with a clear framework for identifying dysfunction, capturing ideal casts, and improving patient outcomes with individualized orthotic design.
Learning Objectives
- •Analyze gait mechanics and identify how forefoot, midfoot, and rearfoot dysfunction contributes to overuse patterns and kinetic chain compensation
- •Recognize common lower extremity pathologies through pedigraph analysis and clinical assessment
- •Demonstrate proper casting technique in subtalar neutral position and evaluate cast quality for accurate orthotic fabrication
- •Identify and measure leg length discrepancies and their impact on spinal alignment and gait
- •Communicate effectively with orthotic fabrication labs to specify modifications and ensure optimal clinical outcomes
- •Design individualized orthotic interventions based on patient-specific biomechanical findings and functional goals
