  • Sports Medicine: Biomechanical Evaluation and Management of Common Foot and Ankle Conditions in Athletic Patients
    Contains 6 Component(s), Includes Credits

    Athletic trainers frequently lack a concise, repeatable process to evaluate foot posture/timing and to integrate orthoses appropriately with loading and return-to-sport (activity) plans. The practice gap shows up as: (a) inconsistent impression/casting quality and calibration to bodyweight/activity/shoe class; (b) uncertainty about when orthoses are likely to help (e.g., patellofemoral pain, plantar-heel pain) vs when they should not replace loading (e.g., Achilles); (c) low confidence verifying fit at dispense and initiating early micro-modifications; and (d) weak break-in and follow-up routines (48-hr/14-day,+). These gaps drive avoidable discomfort, poor adherence, and time lost from sport (activity). A focused, skills-based course that...
