04.07.-05.07.2024 Workshop on foot pathologies and their treatment from the physiotherapist's point of view was held by the European and world renowned professor (PT., Ph.D.) Francois Fourchet. He is Head of Physiotherapy at the Hopital de la Tour (Geneva, Switzerland), has worked for many years at the Aspire Academy in Doha-Qatar, is a reviewer for prestigious journals (Journal of Sport Sciences, BMC Musculoskeletal Disorders, Journal of Athletic Training, etc.), and is a member of the International Ankle Consortium (Ankle Symposium).
The workshop was co-chaired with his colleague (PT., M.sc.) Guillaume Servant Hopital de la Tour (Geneva, Switzerland), whose research interests are running biomechanics and injury prevention.
Day 1
- anatomy and biomechanics of ankle and foot
- foot and ankle joint pathologies (chronic ankle instability)
- examination and treatment options after lateral ankle sprain, chronic ankle instability
- practical exercises, use of EMS, prevention of foot and ankle injuries, testing (use of Hand Held Dynamometer ) return to sport
Day 2
