Objective
Impairments in the alignment, mobility and stability of the feet can be a causing factor for pain in the lower extremities, biomechanical alterations and reduced functional performance (e.g. balance). The aim of the seminar is to provide participants the foundation knowledge and practical skills for the effective assessment of foot deformities and the practical skills required in order to prescribe, fit and review foot orthoses. The clinical assessment focuses not only to the alignment, but also to neural, and myofascial components. In this way, passive, active and neural systems of foot stability are addressed.
The foot orthoses assessment and prescription system used in this seminar is provided by Formthotics™ . Formthotics™ wide range of custom fitted orthotics can be selected and adapted by a specialized therapist to the needs of the patient. They are heat moulded in order to optimize fitting and they provide the opportunity of ongoing modification through re-molding or the posting of special wedges.
For more information you can visit (formthotics.com). Formthotics™ basic assessment process relies in the 6 TestTM, which forms a battery of 6 functional test required for customized orthotic prescription. Moreover, the basic course addresses topics such as: Common conditions associated with the foot, Gait analysis, Interrogation of footwear and reading the foot through deformities and skin adaptations.
More specifically after the completion of the basic seminar the participants will be able to:
• Be introduced to common conditions associated with the foot
• Understand key basic principles of gait analysis
• Learn to assess shoe properties and shoe wear
• Learn to read foot deformities and skin adaptations
• Assess Patients Confidently and Effectively using the 6 TestsTM.
• Identify any Limitations, Abnormalities or Conditions Impacting upon their Prescription of Foot Orthoses, when using the 6 TestsTM.
• Rationalise and justify the appropriate prescription and clinical application of foot Orthoses.
• List any contraindications, dangers & precautions.
• Confidently and appropriately issue, adjust and review foot Orthoses for a patient.

EPIMORFOSIS organizes specialization seminars for rehabilitation professionals. I’ve watched a lot. I strongly recommend you trust EPIMORFOSIS for your specialization and lifelong information.
Training, a steady value for more than twenty years now, leads physiotherapy and keeps it at a very high level, well done to George Karambalis and his associates, we owe a lot to all of you.
The best physiotherapists training institution. It enables the development of the necessary knowledge for clinical reasoning. High-quality training without having to travel abroad.
My first steps in professional specialization started with EPIMORFOSIS and continue. It has been with us all these years, covering the need for modern and documented knowledge, in collaboration with internationally acclaimed educational institutions.
I have known George Karampalis and EPIMORFOSIS for many years. I’ve had the opportunity to join several clinical courses and I can argue that, at the level of organisation and selection of trainers, they have a high level of recognised prestige.
EPIMORFOSIS justifies its name by providing high quality courses. George Karampalis operates more like a constant “trainee” and less like an entrepreneur, and this is an additional positive fact in the effort that is put by the workers and teachers of EPIMORFOSIS.
