This practice-changing lab course is scheduled for January 3-5, 2025, in Denver, Colorado.
Lab Course Prerequisite: Successful completion of the online course, Development and Conservative Management of Pediatric Equinus Deformity - Part 1.
Lab Enrollment—Days 1 and 2: Limited to six didactic course alumni who passed all the exams and who are prepared to use the new assessment and orthotic modification skills in practice.

Lab Enrollment—Day 3: Limited to six lab course participants who are prepared to use the new cast fabrication and posting skills in practice. With that consideration, this lab will be filled on a first-come, first-served basis. Orthotic optimization principles and methods will be implemented in the fabrication and biomechanical optimization of a below-knee cast that is made to be removed without a motorized cutter.
Level: Intermediate. Pre-course review materials are assigned to enhance learning. Lab sessions will proceed upon the assumption that pre-course review materials are completed.
In addition to all necessary assessment tools and casting and posting materials, pre-lab assessment videos will be provided.
