After absorbing the theoretical knowledge online, you will apply it under the supervision of experienced instructor(s) including Beverly Cusick.
Lab sessions feature assessment procedures of the foot and ankle in both open and closed kinematic chains. You’ll apply the findings to the design and execution of insole modifications and to below-knee cast fabrication that can be removed safely at home.
In addition to all necessary assessment tools and casting and posting materials, pre-lab assessment videos will be provided.
