This pdf document goes into some depth, outlining all lectures, workshops, seminars and courses. Even if you are not attending this event, the overview offers an insight as to the direction current scientific foot and ankle research and practices are pointing.
The three are:

- DAF (German Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Society).
At I-FAB 2016, Firefly Orthoses will be focusing on promoting our Richie Brace range of AFOs. Firefly Orthoses distribute these devices and provide technical support to podiatrists across the UK, Ireland and further afield.
About the Richie Brace
The Richie Brace was introduced to the medical community in 1996 and has proven remarkably successful in the non-operative treatment of a number of foot and ankle pathologies.
The Richie Brace is a custom ankle brace (ankle foot orthoses) designed to treat chronic conditions of the foot and ankle. Introduced to the medical community in 1996, The Richie Brace® has revolutionised the non-operative approach to the most challenging pathologies treated by the foot and ankle specialist With a contoured balanced orthotic footplate articulated to adjustable semi-rigid lower leg uprights, the Richie Brace® is ideally suited to stabilize rotational forces at the Midtarsal Subtalar and Talo-Crural joints. Modifications and enhancements are available to add further restrictions of motion in sagittal, frontal and transverse plane.
