Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Ian Griffiths: Evidence Over Hype, the Mechanics of Orthoses and the Evolution of Sports Podiatry
Q: What about the role of technology in practice and teaching?
Ian notes that while some tech like 3D printing and objective measures have value, clinicians should remain patient-first and not over-rely on devices; training should ensure clinicians understand both capabilities and limitations of technology.
Ian Griffiths: Evidence Over Hype, the Mechanics of Orthoses and the Evolution of Sports Podiatry
Q: How should podiatry education evolve given current research?
Education should balance traditional mechanistic theories with modern evidence, teaching core sciences (anatomy, biomechanics, materials science) and fostering critical appraisal, with an emphasis on applying knowledge to patient care and avoiding dogmatic use of any single theory.
Ian Griffiths: Evidence Over Hype, the Mechanics of Orthoses and the Evolution of Sports Podiatry
Q: How do you approach orthotic prescription in clinic?
He describes a tissue-stress theory-based approach, considering offloading for a target period while not ignoring foot posture, and stresses the value of a nuanced, evidence-informed, but individualized management pathway.
Ian Griffiths: Evidence Over Hype, the Mechanics of Orthoses and the Evolution of Sports Podiatry
Q: How do orthoses actually work, in your view?
Ian acknowledges that orthoses can work for some people, but his precise mechanisms are not fully clear; he proposes a framework of four potential mechanisms (kinematic, kinetic, neuromotor, psychological) and emphasizes a practical, individualized, patient-centered rationale.
Michael Nitschke and Thomas Do Canto: The Athlete-Clinician Edge: Running, Resilience, and the Super Shoe Revolution
Q: How do you balance technology and traditional coaching in your practice?
They acknowledge that data and tech have value but warn against letting marketing drive care; they emphasize using data to describe habits and educate patients while prioritizing simple, practical guidance and strong clinician-patient communication.
