Tissue Stress Approach: Producing Better Foot Orthoses Using New Biomechanics Concepts

To understand the biomechanical concepts of the Tissue Stress Approach to foot orthosis therapy and how this approach is quite different to the more traditional podiatric biomechanics approaches to custom foot orthosis therapy.

To better appreciate the stress-strain characteristics of human structural tissues (i.e. bone, tendon, muscle, cartilage, fascia, ligament and skin) and appreciate how limiting stress to these structural tissues to their elastic range, and not into their plastic range, helps prevent tissue injury.

To demonstrate clinical examples of how the Tissue Stress Approach can be used to better treat some of the more common foot and lower extremity pathologies with specific modifications to custom foot orthoses.
