Recommending the Proper Running Shoe for your Patient
By: Vinay Matai, DPM
ABPM Diplomate since 2019
With so many brands and styles of running shoes, recommending the correct one can be challenging and overwhelming. We can choose to refer the patient to a local running store or as podiatrists use our knowledge to educate him/her on choosing the proper footwear.

Understanding the patient’s biomechanics are crucial in choosing the right shoe. A complete exam including a biomechanical exam and asking the patient specific questions will help determine the best type of shoe. Here are a few examples of questions you may ask to better understand your patient’s needs.
Wound Center Without Walls:
The New Model of Providing Care During the COVID-19 Pandemic

ABPM Director, Dr. Lee Rogers, was one of the podiatric physicians that contributed to "Wound Center Without Walls". It was recently published in the WOUNDS Journal!

"The Wound Center Without Walls is a strategy to untether wound care from a physical location and aggressively triage and provide care to patients with wounds across the spectrum of the health system utilizing technology and community-centered care."

APMA is offering its members FREE CECH on a variety of topics. These webinars are provided complimentary, exclusively for APMA members.
