| LUNCH & LEARN WEBINAR |
"Assessing Functional Foot Types in Four Easy Steps" by Roberta Nole, M.A., P.T., C.Ped, will provide an introduction to functional foot typing and gait analysis utilizing a simple 4-Step method of visual gait assessment. The presentation will give an overview of 24 variations of the “normal” adult foot, and protocols for classifying feet into 6 major subgroups or “Quads”. This 4-Step Foot Typing method is quick and easy to learn and will offer the practitioner a biomechanically based approach to gait assessment and foot classification. The participant will learn that each “Quad” presents with specific foot traits,
such as arch height, toe sign, callouses, and gait pattern; which can predispose a patient to a
particular array of clinical conditions.
Lunch & Learn Webinars are a non-credit informal discussion group focused on technical questions, business strategies, tips, tools...just about everything to use and assist you in your practice.
These sessions are complimentary for PFA members but registration is required. Non-member price is $35.

She is a published author on this subject in Orthotics & Prosthetics in Rehabilitation, Butterworth and Heinmann, Boston, 2000, and has lectured internationally on foot biomechanics.
Roberta has written and instructs a continuing education lecture series based on basic and advanced level biomechanical foot and ankle concepts and evaluation methods. Her advanced level programs are original in content and are based on her novel patented methods of foot assessment, identifying a methodology for classification of 24 adult foot types (U.S. Patent 7,789,840 B2).
