RESPONSES/COMMENTS (NON-CLINICAL) - PART 1

RE: Are We Still "Kings" of Orthotics?

From: Dennis Shavelson, DPM

 

I came across a website that posts this article updated on Dec 2014 entitled: "Orthotics Review". The article is biased and contains many opined and inaccurate statements. It does, however, reflect some truth regarding the current state of podiatric biomechanics and orthotics that our profession has chosen for the future. It also suggests new “kings” atop the orthotic pyramid, the pedorthists and orthotists.

 

I would prefer if we remained the kings. What about you?
