Course Curriculum

  • Intro: Welcome and What You Will Gain

    Discover the benefits of custom orthotics for various conditions and learn the key factors for fabricating effective orthotics.

  • Simple Steps, Big Impact

    Visualize commonly made orthoses and practical tips. Master the details of strapping, lining, foam inserts for bony prominences, and crafting comfy, compliant orthoses.
  • What's the Bottom Line?

“I work together with the hand therapists when making splints for the infants and young children as we clinically reason together and use taping and bio feedback with hand function as children grow up. I have completed quite a few custom splinting courses and this was a useful way to continue this journey. Its always beneficial to be reminded of best practice.”
