In this episode with Blake, we explore how we can use foot orthoses in various different case presentations in the lower limb. We discuss:

• Misconceptions about foot orthoses
• How and when to use foot orthoses
• What conditions can respond well to foot orthoses
• Differences between customised foot orthoses and off the shelf orthoses

This episode is closely tied to Blake’s case study he did with us. With case studies, you can see how top clinicians manage real-world cases and apply their strategies to get better results with your patients.
