FRIDAYFRIDAY, APRIL 8 - 8:15 AM - 9:15 AM Keynote: Biomechanical Aspects of Orthopedic Footwear Construction; Details for the Treatment of Forefoot ProblemsThomas Stief

Shoes protect and support feet during daily and sports activities. At various orthopedic and systemic diseases, footwear modifications are indicated to reduce mechanical stress at the foot and the ankle joint. Effective orthopaedic shoe modifications are provided by different rocker sole modifications. But no internationally accepted terminology and method exists to describe the devices used in the field of footwear modifications. The clinicians who prescribe these devices, the manufacturers who produce them and the pedorthist / orthopedic shoemaker who supply them to their patient, in different countries, apply widely differing terms to describe the devices and the construction details. This situation creates problems for clinicians, manufacturers and researchers attempting to compare the treatments used in different countries and their outcomes. The German guideline specifies the clinical objectives for the use of these devices and describes their functions and constituent components.

The aim of the talk is to present the German guidelines for footwear modifications e.g. rocker sole constructions and to discuss the international differences of the construction details and the used terminology to improve the results in daily practice.

FRIDAY, APRIL 8 - 9:15 AM - 9:45 AMPlenary: Results of the PAC Patient Outcome Measure Evaluation Strategy (POMES)Dr. Tyler Amell

This presentation will focus on the results of an applied research study funded by the Pedorthic Association of Canada (PAC). The research was conducted by an external consultant and the findings will be of great interest to the pedorthic community. The study, referred to as the PAC Patient Outcome Measure Evaluation

Strategy (POMES), is based in part on a survey of The Patients’ Perspectives on Custom Made Foot Orthotics. In addition to the patients’ perceptions, standardized information from Pedorthists themselves on their perspectives of the patients’ orthotic care will also be presented.

The survey data were collected from October 2014 through September 2015, and information on over 220 cases will be discussed. Major findings related to perceived foot pain pre- and post- orthotic use, as well as other important findings related to the impact of orthotics on activities of daily living, cost and insurance coverage will be discussed.

FRIDAY, APRIL 8 - 10:15 AM - 11:00 AMBreakout: Toward a Gender-Targeted Approach to Reducing Running-Related Pain: Insights From a Statistical Model of 154 Runners Michael Ryan, C. Ped (C)

It is widely understood that as an industry we must confront the challenge of run injury prevention through tools that can consider multiple potential risk factors concurrently. Contemporary statistical models allow researchers and clinicians to gain better insights on the relative weighting of one factor in the presence of all other potential factors. Every study that has developed a statistical model has used the presence or absence of a running injury as the dependent variable in the model – and in essence examines ‘injury-risk’. Despite the outcomes from these models being available now for over 30 years, our industry has made little ground at developing a definitive strategy for injury prevention. We need to re-consider our direction and base our models on the physiological phenomenon that underlies all running injuries: pain.

In 2013, our research group completed a large cohort study that served as a basis for collecting a comprehensive baseline dataset from male and female runners that examined running related pain across anatomical regions. The goal of this breakout session is to discuss the outcomes from this risk factor analysis, and to outline a gender-specific strategy to reduce running related pain. A secondary goal is to review the functional

joint and muscle testing used in the baseline study that can give insights into the cause or prevention of running related pain across gender.

FRIDAY, APRIL 8 – 10:15 AM - 11:00 AMBreakout: Transferring Research to PracticeKelly Robb

"Each conference I attend, there appears to be a similar chatter when leaving a ‘researchers’ presentation: “I have no idea what he was telling us”, or “great presentation, but I can’t use that information in day-to-day practice”. There are large differences between research presentations and clinical presentations, and the means of interpreting the information are quite different.

The goal of my presentation “Transferring Research to Practice” is to educate pedorthists in two areas: 1) how to determine if research is answering a clinical question, and 2) tips/suggestions on interpreting researcher presentations.

This presentation is designed for pedorthists with minimal research knowledge. The presentation will include a review of study designs, hierarchy of evidence, appraisal of quantitative and qualitative research, bias, and how to understand results. In other words, how do we determine a clinical significant result? The process of evidence-based practice is often preached by clinicians, however few seem to understand the difference between strong and weak studies.

FRIDAY, APRIL 8 – 11:15 AM - 12:00 PMPlenary: Kinesiology Taping Essentials: Theory and Research Brad Norris

Anatomy has been fundamentally based on an “ isolationist “ model. We often focus on origin, insertion and action of individual muscles. As a result, many sports and rehabilitation taping methods are based on outdated concepts rather than applying what we now understand about movement, functional neurology and the somatosensory / fascial system. Instead of focusing on individual muscles, the primer for Rocktape is a focus on optimizing human movement and motor control. The FMT model ( Fascial Movement Taping ) is based on the idea that the body’s myofascial architecture functions as an integrated system or chain. Using tape, we can tap into the brain with the intent to reduce pain and improve motor control.

What is the advantage of Rocktape kinesiology tape

over more traditional taping methods? Rocktape, as a second skin that can stay on for 5 days, promotes both joint stability and movement congruency without limiting range of motion. Even though the main focus of the FMT model is movement taping, we can build on this model to include taping strategies and practices that reduce pain, improve motor control, reduce inflammation and enhance performance and recovery from exercise. Welcome to the Rocktape revolution!

We have collaborated on a research project with BCIT that has opened up new orthotic design ideas based on foot biomechanics and bony landmarks. Individuals were cast using two different methods: 50% weight bearing plaster slipper and non weight bearing foam box, creating two plaster moulds for each person.

In addition, subjects had their medial arch photographed while in 50% weight bearing. Adjustments were made to the plaster moulds in equal increments under the subtalar region of the foot. Each of these increments were digitized using a laser scanner and each individuals foot anatomy and location of the subtalar joint were discovered in the CAD program. Using these data, numerous insoles were generated for each individual. Each individual had to fill out a qualitative survey on insole comfort similar to a Modified PEQ developed by Dr. Silvia Rachke (BCIT Principle Investigator).

The survey results, 3D data and foot anatomy were used to identify new computer vision methods for landmark identification with the end goal of producing insoles with similar comfort to those generated using 3D point cloud data."

FRIDAY, APRIL 8 – 4:15 PM - 5:00 PMPlenary: The Search for the Perfect Diabetic OrthoticRobert Phillips

Diabetes has many biomechanical consequences on the body tissues that those who treat nondiabetic biomechanical dysfunction do not have to address. These include changes in tissue mechanics due to glycosylation and peripheral vascular disease as well as muscle changes and postural changes created by neuropathy. These are compounded by common biomechanical aberrations that lead to abnormal pronation and/or supination of the forefoot and rearfoot during gait. The perfect diabetic orthotic is one that minimizes abnormal pressure and shear, and also promotes maximum stability and foot function.

This presentation will direct itself to the evaluation process when the patient comes for the fabrication of a diabetic orthotic. It will discuss evaluation of soft tissue mechanics, as well as assessment of important postural and joint malalignments. It will then discuss methods of incorporating both the soft tissue problems and the foot kinetic and kinematic problems into an in-shoe orthotic.

SATURDAYSATURDAY, APRIL 9 – 8:30 AM - 9:00 AM Plenary: Toward Evidence-Informed AFO Prescription: Identifying Factors that Guide Clinician Decision-Making Kyra Kane

Although many children with cerebral palsy (CP) rely on ankle-foot orthoses (AFOs) to address their gait and mobility limitations, clinicians lack evidence to guide selection of the most beneficial AFO design for each child. While current research suggests that AFO design and prescription are based on general factors like CP subtype, we expect that individual factors, such as the child’s physical impairments, are also considered. To

14 2016 PAC Symposium

identify the factors that clinicians consider, we conducted focus groups in five Canadian pediatric rehabilitation facilities. This presentation will describe the categories and themes that emerged from these discussions, including: information that affects the choice of AFO design, processes for obtaining and monitoring orthoses, and factors that impact or challenge treatment outcomes. The session will also review the background literature and methodology for our current project, which examines the effects of a key component in the AFO prescription – the angle of the ankle in the AFO – on gait mechanics. Exploring these factors is a first step toward the development of guidelines to help clinicians improve AFO prescription for children with CP.

SATURDAY, APRIL 9 – 9:00 AM - 10:00 AM Keynote: The Value of Disruption: Entrepreneurial Lessons from the front.Donna Alteen & Shawn Lowe

SATURDAY, APRIL 9 – 10:45AM - 11:30AMPlenary: Using Pedorthic Modalities to Prevent Falls in the ElderlyDennis Janisse

Falls are the second leading cause of accidental death. 75% of all falls occur in the people aged 65 and older. Even more frightening is the fact that 1 out of 3 older people who fall and are hospitalized with a hip fracture end up dying within 1 year.

The importance of falls prevention cannot be understated and we, as O&P professionals are in a unique position to play a major role in helping our at risk patients. Many of the conditions we treat elevate the risk of falling – arthritis, diabetes, peripheral neuropathy, vascular issues, amputations. Given the nature of our profession, we see a

disproportionate number of elderly patients.

This session will present attendees with many methods and modalities that O&P practitioners can provide for their patients to help decrease postural sway and increase balance and stability. Shoes, shoe modifications, foot orthoses, SCFOs and AFOs can all be utilized.

SATURDAY, APRIL 9 – 11:45 PM - 12:30 PM Breakout: Winning on Local Search and Social Marketing – Strategies for Growing Your Business in a Digital World.Donna Alteen and Shawn Lowe

Every day, people use Local Search and Social Media to find local companies to connect with and to research products or services to purchase. With over 80% of searches exhibiting local intent and upwards of 17% of time spent online is on Social Media, leveraging these channels and unlocking their full potential is critical to the success of a business today.

This session will help you leverage Local Search and Social Media by understanding:

• The keys to unlocking Local Search visibility.

• Representing your brand within Social Media.

• Promoting and generating audience in Social Media.

SATURDAY, APRIL 9 – 2:30 PM - 3:15 PMBreakout: SCFO - The Overlooked SolutionDennis Janisse

SCFOs can be an invaluable tool for not only resolving foot pain but for increasing patient compliance and satisfaction. SCFOs can be worn in a many shoes into which traditional AFOs would never fit. Patients enjoy the lighter weight and more streamlined fit of SCFOs. There are many custom fabrication companies offering several different custom SCFO designs as well as larger manufacturers providing myriad prefabricated model options. SCFOs are the perfect filler for that void between

15#pedorthic16

a custom foot orthosis and a full blown traditional restrictive AFO. If you’re not currently using SCFOs, take the time to educate yourself to what is available and how to use them. Adding SCFOs to your arsenal of treatment options will greatly enhance your standing with your referring physicians and is practically guaranteed to produce more happy patients.

While some people may be justifiably critical of reductionist science there is no denying the scientific process is responsible for the remarkable health care

advances over the last 200 years that have resulted in, among other things, a doubling of our life expectancy and relative control of infectious disease.

However, in the pedorthic field, indeed as in most fields in medicine, we still require considerable progress to fully understand important elements of epidemiology, pathomechanics and treatment efficacy/effectiveness for the scope of injuries seen in our profession. We must also reconcile this need for information with current diminishing returns regarding the increase in clinical utility from each new scientific publication.

The goal of this talk is to review the importance of staying current with relevant research and discuss common ways clinicians can access contemporary research material that can provide new insights on advancing clinical innovations in pedorthics.
