Lower Limb BIOMECHANICS 2012

The Langer Group offers a wide range of educational courses throughout the year, with the aim being to share the expert knowledge that 30 years of experience at the forefront of the orthopaedic world has given us. We aim to cater for all skill and experience levels, starting with a basic course and following onto an advanced course. All of our education events are certified once the course has been completed with CPD point.

Basic Biomechanics Course Outline:

The two day course aims to equip the practitioner with a basic understanding of foot and leg biomechanics and an ability to recognise fundamental foot and leg pathologies. Practical sessions will enable delegates to take a good cast and be competent in prescribing foot orthoses for the control of compensatory foot motion.

Advanced Biomechanics Course Outline:

A two day advanced biomechanics course aimed atintroducing new concepts and enforcing well established principles. Topics include foot types, dissecting the mid-tarsal joint, gait analysis and new orthoses.

Thoroughly enjoyed the course would highly recommend! Miss Julie Carter (2011 Attendee) The course went beyond my expectations, very informative, really enjoyed the course
