Extracts from the lecture program
Congress president Prof. Emmanuel Coudeyre could present a broad spectrum of topics. One meeting was on neurological lesions and multiple palsies. Also the diabetic foot, its prevention and treatment, as well as the rheumatic foot were focused in Paris. In the two sections on free topics the whole variety of what keeps researchers, physicians and craftsmen occupied could be seen.
Marc Weil, France, resourcefully presented his works for the competition "Meilleur ouvrier de France", showing the manufacturing of a lady's shoe, a man's shoe and a child's shoe. This is a workmanship competition, done every four years. The title "Meilleur Ouvrier de France" (Best craftsman in France), short M.O.F., is given to an excelling representative of different crafts – for the first time in the year 1924. For some years now also podo-orthésistes, French orthopedic shoemakers, are allowed to participate in the competition. Weil was the first one among them to get this prestigious award.
