What's a Certified Pedorthist (C.Ped.)?

A Board-certified pedorthist is an individual who has studied foot anatomy and pathology, biomechanics, shoe construction and modification, foot orthosis fabrication and materials, footwear fitting, and patient/practice management, and who abides by the Code of Ethics outlining responsibilities to the patient, the physician, the public and the profession. For most C.Peds, hands-on training in the field is also part of their learning process.

The services of a certified pedorthist are necessary to limit the effects of challenges from birth problems such as cerebral palsy, hemophilia, osteogenesis imperfecta, spina bifida, and malformation of the long bones. Fractures; brain damage; muscle,tendon, and cartilage tears; and spinal cord injuries are often helped by prescribed orthoses. Pedorthic treatment often benefits those with problems caused by stroke, muscular dystrophy, arthritis, diabetes, and multiple sclerosis.

Whether your pedorthic needs are the result of disease, traumatic injury, or congenital problems, your rehabilitation is personally prescribed. Your pedorthist utilizes the prescription from your physician and will consult your physical or occupational therapist. Your pedorthic device will be custom designed and created on site.
