What is a Pedorthist and how we can help?
A pedorthist is an allied healthcare professional who is specifically educated and trained to manage comprehensive patient care for orthotic needs that originate from the ankle and below. This includes patient assessment, formation of a treatment plan, implementation of the treatment plan, follow-up and practice management.
ABC Certified Pedorthists are healthcare professional that have demonstrated knowledge and competence in the field of pedorthics. Their qualifications have been tested and accepted by the American Board for Certification in Orthotics, Prosthetics, and Pedorthics (ABC) and they are required to participate in continuing education programs.
An ABC Certified Pedorthist directs and supervises the provision and application of pedorthic devices for the prevention or improvement of painful and/or disabling conditions of the foot and ankle. A prescription is required for any pedorthic device or prefabricated below-the-knee orthosis addressing a medical condition that originates at the ankle or below. To provide this care effectively and comprehensively, ABC Certified Pedorthists have specialized education and skills that enable them to match current and emerging pedorthic techniques and technology to their patients’ needs and goals. They form and implement a pedorthic treatment plan, provide follow-up care, and coordinate services with related medical professionals and the patient’s rehabilitation team.
ABC Certified Pedorthists can provide devices and footwear to assist in:
- Accommodating foot deformities
- Re-alignment of anatomical structures
- Redistribution of external and internal forces
- Improvement of balance
- Control of biomechanical function
- Accommodating special circulatory requirements
