Fit Feet: Thoughts on Orthotics, Shoes and Beyond

Host: Jordan Metzl, MD Guest: John Kennedy, MD Several studies looking at efficacy for custom and off-the-shelf orthotics indicate that the vast majority of patients don't need a custom device. How do we decide who is an appropriate candidate for each product? How does this debate about specialized product lines project to running shoes and other items that help us work toward better foot health for our patients? Host Dr. Jordan Metzl welcomes Dr. John Kennedy, assistant professor of orthopaedic surgery at Weill Medical College of Cornell University and an orthopaedic surgeon at the Hospital for Special Surgery in New York.
