Biomechanics of the Tween Foot: Understanding How to Diagnose and Treat a Foot that is Changing Rapidly from Pediatric to Adult Form
Presented by Louis J. DeCaro, DPM, FACFAP, FASPM, FAAPPM
Discover the critical biomechanical changes that occur as the foot transitions from pediatric to tween to adult. Pre-adolescence, often referred to as the “tween” years (defined loosely as the years between 8 or 9 to 12) is a time of monumental shifts in a child’s physical, cognitive, emotional, and social development. The changes in their foot structure are no different!
This webinar will explore key foot type shifts, common challenges, and strategies to effectively support foot health through these developmental stages.
Diagnoses such as “growing pains” and “overactivity” are not only common BUT FALSE! Tweens should NEVER have to live with conditions such as plantar fasciitis, posterior tibial tendonitis, shin splints, severs disease, Osgood Schlatter’s, knee pain, hip pain, back pain – but they commonly do! AND they are UNFORTUNATELY often NOT sent to podiatry! Children crying themselves to bed at night (often for multiple years) with leg pain, needing their legs rubbed by their parents, and experiencing orthopedic pain is unacceptable! Especially when often it SIMPLY requires the correct orthotic device to finally eliminate pain.
Understanding the connection between the foot and MANY common orthopedic conditions is essential to helping tweens eliminate pain and live a more physical lifestyle.
Dr. Louis J. DeCaro is a board-certified podiatrist and podiatric surgeon—and the owner of DeCaro Total Foot Care Center since 2003 where he has been in practice for 20 years. Dr. DeCaro has nearly 25 years of experience in the field of podiatry, specializing in pediatric podiatry/biomechanics and education, and is an international lecturer on these topics.
