Also here is the related course information pertaining to Lower Extremity
Orthotics from the site and one must assume the information at the site is
current:

PTPP 518 Management of Foot and Ankle Dysfunction.  The anatomy and
biomechanics of the lower kinetic chain are examined in depth in this
course.  Common syndromes suffered by runners are discussed.  Training
errors, footwear, and management techniques are integrated.  An examination
scheme is introduced and practiced in both didactic and laboratory settings. 
A conceptual basis for the construction of podiatric orthotics is
established.  Mobilization of the foot, ankle, and lower leg is presented.

PTPP 588 Lower Extremity Orthotics: Focus on Management of the Person with
Neurological Involvement.  This course will cover orthotic device principles,
components, and applications with persons having developmental or
neurological disabilities.  References will be made to normal developmental
anatomy, biomechanics, motor skill and function as a foundation to support
clinical decision making regarding orthotic selection.  Two laboratories will
be used to practice assessment of alignment, measuring for orthotic needs,
and casting technique.  Loretta M. Knutson Ph.D., PT, PCS; 3 hours;
