‘Podiatry Now’ readers are soon to receive a free educational DVD thanks to funding from Interpod and Algeos, who have teamed up with Craig Payne to produce this innovative and fascinating lesson in biomechanics and orthotic prescription.

Craig Payne assesses patient in DVD

Craig Payne is a senior lecturer at Australia’s famous La Trobe University and is a leading expert in his field. In this unique, educational DVD he demonstrates lower limb biomechanical assessment techniques, including chapters on foot posture index, dynamic gait analysis, weight bearing assessments and sub-talar neutral tests. He then goes on to demonstrate orthotic prescription and the fitting of Interpod preform orthoses.

Marc Cameron for A. Algeo Ltd says: "Interpod’s aim with the DVD is to provide a free method of learning and education to podiatrists, orthotists, physios and students alike. It is important to educate people in the industry about orthotic prescription and ensure that both professionals and patients gain the maximum potential benefits of the technological advances in preforms that have been made in recent years”.

Interpod is a globally respected foot care brand and is accepted as probably the most researched on the market. Algeos’ library of evidence on Interpod Foot Orthoses boasts over 13 research studies and journal articles.

The DVD is due to be distributed with each copy of the Junes' Podiatry Now, which goes out to over 10,000+ members of the Society of Chiropodists and Podiatrists. It can also be ordered for FREE by contacting Algeos direct.
