Instructor: Roberta Nole, MA, PT, C.Ped This course is for practitioners only This webinar reviews the intricate effect on gait that occurs when an Uncompensated (supinated) Rearfoot Varus, is coupled with a Rigid Forefoot Varus. This is compared to what happens when someone has a Compensated (pronated) Rearfoot Varus along with a Forefoot Varus or Forefoot Supinatus. The golden rule that, “When a foot can pronate it will”, is examined and the different compensation methods between these foot types are discussed in detail. A rigid foot that is unable to compensate in a static standing position functions differently to how a compensated rearfoot functions thus affecting gait. This webinar will explain the functional compensations that occur dynamically during contact, midstance and propulsive phases of gait; and the resultant pathologies that can occur. The instructor compares and contrasts the differences between a flexible forefoot supinatus, and a ‘true’ (typically congenital) rigid forefoot varus. The instructor will explain why foot orthoses for these foot types will require extrinsic medial forefoot posting, as well as other specific orthotic design features necessary to control gait and balance the body. Athletic footwear recommendations are also discussed. Participants will be required to complete and submit a post webinar quiz for CEU eligibility. 1 Hour Program Pre-Approved by ABC for 1.5 Category 1 Credits Each Webinar for Certified Pedorthists, Certified Orthotists, Orthotic Assistants, Orthotic Technicians and Orthotic Fitters.
