Adult Acquired Flat Foot (AAFF)

Join us for this exciting 40-minute presentation and 10-minute Q&A session on the topic of adult acquired flat foot. Blake Withers will guide you through orthosis prescription and footwear selection for the condition, using real life case studies to enhance your understanding.

Learning objectives

  1. Analyse a real-life foot orthosis prescription, focusing on the rationale behind specific material choices and orthotic designs.
  2. Identify the most appropriate footwear options for adult-acquired flatfoot cases.
  3. Understand biomechanical analyses guiding the selection of orthotic materials.
  4. Review current evidence (as of 2025) regarding the pathophysiology and management strategies for adult-acquired flatfoot.
  5. Explore how patient factors, disease stages, and long-term prognosis influence treatment decisions, including footwear, foot orthoses, Richie braces, and adjunctive interventions.
