Welcome back to Pushing Pediatrics! Today we will be going over the use of orthotics in the pediatric population. While we have discussed orthotics at some length in previous episodes (episode 30 – Down Syndrome and episodes 8 & 10 – Pathological Gait), we feel this subject deserves its own episode too! Please reference today’s episode in conjunction with your copy of Campbell’s 6th edition and those listed previous episodes for a complete review. We will also be discussing orthotics as it pertains to our own personal practice experiences. We hope you find today’s episode helpful!
