The Department of Podiatric Biomechanics consists of highly trained clinicians and scholars who specialize in biomechanics of the lower extremity. The conservative management of disorders effecting the foot and ankle are a departmental focus both clinically and in our research. We utilize innovative techniques in our Gait Lab to study foot structure, function and rehabilitation. As well, our physicians specialize in the fabrication of custom orthoses and non-surgical treatment modalities for all foot and ankle conditions.
