ORTHOTIC THERAPY POSSIBILITIES
Apr 23, 2025Understanding Orthotic Therapy: Fundamentals and Biomechanical Insights
In this episode, we delve into the complexities and fundamental principles of orthotic therapy, exploring both custom and over-the-counter devices.
The discussion touches on how orthoses can alleviate joint pains, particularly in the big toe and ankle joints, by redistributing load.
Key concepts such as joint range of motion assessment and arch support versus beam mechanics are also addressed.
Notable contributions from biomechanics researchers highlight the importance of midfoot support and provide insights into compensatory mechanisms within the body.
