Developed For Your Circumstances

As Is Often the Case ...

Clinicians, practice managers, and administrators alike know that continuing education is a critical investment in optimal outcomes and professional growth.

Yet in this era of limited training (and travel) budgets and staff utilization pressures, accessing continuing education for even small teams of clinicians is an uphill battle — even if the training consists of practice-changing content and world-class instructors.

This is where we come into the picture.

We’ll bring a personalized course to you

Whether you’re a regional special interest group, a multi-site therapy clinic, or a state professional association, you can sponsor a course as an:

→ internal continuing education course just for your team or department, or

→ public course for which you charge admission (and offset your costs), or

→ keynote or pre-course event for your association or group, as part of a larger conference or convention

Sponsor Cusick's New Paradigms in Pediatric Equinus Deformity Management Course
A Review of Sciences and Strategies for Optimizing AFOs

Conservative Management of Pediatric Equinus Deformity – Part 2: Labs with Serial Casting

Lab sessions feature supervised assessment procedures of the foot and ankle in the open and closed kinematic chains. Findings are applied to the design and execution of insole modifications undertaken to optimize standing and walking foot alignment.

Orthotic optimization principles and methods are again implemented in the fabrication and biomechanical optimization of one type of below-knee cast— a reinforced cast made with plaster and SoftCast, which is made to be removed without a motorized cutter.
