What is a Certified Pedorthist or C.Ped?
A Board-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. A pedorthist also abides by the American Board for Certification in Orthotics Prosthetics and Pedorthics’ Code of Ethics outlining responsibilities to the patient, the physician, the public and the profession. For most C.Peds, hands-on training in the field is also part of their learning process.
