Join me as a I shadow Wendy, a resident orthotist for the day! You'll see the workshop, learn about foot orthotics, scoliosis braces, AFOs (ankle foot orthoses), HKAFO (hip knee ankle foot orthoses) and even corrective helmets for babies!

PLUS I actually get an assessment of my feet and have orthotics casted on film!

HUGE THANK YOU to Wendy, the entire prosthetics and orthotics department for collaborating on this video!! I had such an incredible day and now I know what goes into creating custom orthotics!

Correction: Emma is a university student, working in an assistive role, not a registered technician as labeled in the video.
