Biomechanical assessment of foot pathologies, and design and manufacture of orthotic solutions is an online course developed during the Project TrainOrthot, funded by European Union through the Programme Leonardo da Vinci, Lifelong learning programme. The course will start the 10th of March and will end the 25th of June.

The professionals in this field will be able to learn the latest technological and material progress through a course supervised by the Biomechanics Institute of Valencia. The project was led by APTO (Association of workers in Technical Orthopaedies) with the support and collaboration of ISPO (International Society for Prosthetics and Orthotics) and FEDOP (Spanish federation of orthetics and prosthetists). The rest of the consortium included the Czech Univerity UTB (Tomas Bata University), The English University Uos (University of Salford) and the Biomechanics Institute of Valencia from Spain (IBV).

The training material of this course has been transferred and adapted from the results of the research project Innofoot (Innovative Treatment of Foot Disorders, COLL -CT- 2006-030468 ). In particular, the content was taken from a part of a collection of books published by the Association of Dutch orthopaedic NVOS (‘Orthopedische Schoentechniek’), and from a Knowledge Management System about main foot diseases, also developed during the project Innofoot (http://innofoot.ibv.org).
