The relationship between the health professions and the various medical specialties is very strong today and has grown with the increase of the sharing of the EBM culture.

We will see it today in the AISLeC Consensus Conference, scheduled for November 22-24, 2018 in Milan,to which you are all invited.
The study of the lower limb biomechanics is also a discipline that we share, with validated diagnostic tests and paradigms that gradually approach the ever more faithful and reliable description of the causes of podalic and supersegmental support problems.

Podiatry has always been essential and central to prevention, treatment and early diagnosis of many clinical problems.
But we see the prevention often represented in podiatry juxtaposed to an adjective. Prevention “primary” and “secondary” ... therefore a prevention that is realized only after some accidents have already happened (neuropathy, deformity, vasculopathy, preulcerative lesions, ulcers, amputations).

Today we must also talk about prevention without adjectives: and prevention without adjectives is done thanks to biomechanics.

Even a hyperkeratosis should be intercepted, even an abnormal pronation or a supinatory syndrome or a sagittal deficit should be evaluated and considered in a prevention project. And this is prevention without adjectives.
In fact, prevention is done before an accident happens, otherwise it is treatment or early treatment ... and not real prevention. We do not want to just prevent ulcers and prevent amputation or re-amputation.

We podiatrists and podiatrists also want to work on Prevention ... with a capital “P” and without adjectives:
and the study of the biomechanics of our patients is fundamental in this sense. This is the topic that we will then continue to develop at the Naples World Congress - April 2019.
