THE C. PED ADVANTAGE

According to ABC, "Pedorthics is the design, manufacture, modification of pedorthic devices, to prevent or alleviate foot problems caused by disease, congenital defect, overuse or injury. An ABC Certified Pedorthist is an individual who has studied foot anatomy and pathology, biomechanics, shoe construction and modification, foot orthosis fabrication and materials, footwear fitting and patient/practice management and is credentialed by the American Board for Certification in Orthotics, Prosthetics and Pedorthics, Inc. To become certified, a pedorthist must meet initial educational requirements and pass a comprehensive written exam given by the American Board for Certification in Orthotics, Prosthetics and Pedorthics (ABC) which is accredited by the National Commission for Certifying Agencies. Once certified, a pedorthist must meet continuing education and annual renewal requirements to maintain pedorthic certification. The certified pedorthist must also adhere to the ABC Code of Professional Responsibility to ensure the highest scope of professional competence and deportment."
