Trans-national on-line course to provide specific vocational training to professionals on the treatment of foot pathologies

In the foot orthopaedic sector, the educational programs, the categorization of the orthopaedic professionals and their competences and skills differ depending on the European country. Another characteristic of this sector is the poor communication between different members of the rehabilitation team (prescriptors and service providers) because of their different knowledge and skills. The main objective of the project was to create and validate a transnational e-learning (distance) training programme tailor-made to meet educational needs of the foot orthopaedic sector in various European countries in such a manner that the results should be adopted and applied that had been obtained in the preceding research project named INNOFOOT (Innovative Foot Disorder Treatment). Within the framework of the INNOFOOT project, learning and training materials were gathered and, subsequently thegeneral transnational syllabus was created. A part of the materials is based on the collection of books (Orthopedische choontechniek) published by the NVOS occupational association that agreed to the collection’s utilization for the purpose of educational purposes within the framework of the TrainOrthot project.
