Introduction
The
Podiatry Symposium is organised with the purpose of
ensuring that our healthcare professionals remain updated with the latest ways
lower limb conditions are diagnosed and treated.
Very little focus has been paid to the feet and most of the conferences
involving the feet have been in the context of diabetes and the ongoing
challenge of lowering amputation rates. However, other aspect of FEET in SPORTS
is no less important. Many athletes have found their performance lacking
due to conditions such as flat feet, or recurring ankle sprains and injuries.
We are honoured to have Mr. Craig Payne, Senior
lecturer in the Department of Podiatry, La Trobe
University, Australia as our guest speaker for this event. He will also
be conducting our post conference workshop that will include a more hands on
approach to examining the lower limb and the latest theories in the
construction of foot orthotic devices.
Besides Mr Payne, we have also invited other speakers
who will provide insights from various angles and points of view; from the
sports physician to the orthopaedic surgeon,
podiatrist, physiotherapists and also the traditional Chinese acupuncturist.
It will be a good opportunity for delegates to meet, exchange ideas,
forge friendships and good working relationships.
We believe that all our delegates will take away knowledge and skills that will
enable them to provide better and more effective clinical care to their
patients and those under their care. We look forward to welcoming you at
the symposium!
