No matter on which continent: the human foot has the same anatomy and biomechanics everywhere. But the cause of foot problems are interpreted quite differently and the therapeutic approaches are often different as well. The IVO Congress is an opportunity to learn about some of these approaches and discuss them with colleagues from other countries. Saturday, October 14, 2022 will be all about the biomechanics of the foot. There will be a translation service for the lectures in the congress for English, German and French.
Diabetic foot syndrome will be one of the main topics at the 6th ORTHOPÄDIE SCHUH TECHNIK and IVO Congress, which will be held in Cologne on October 14 and 15, 2022. On the first day, everything will revolve around current care concepts and measurement methods in diabetes.There will be a translation service for the lectures in the congress for English, German and French.
