Two experts will be at Charles Sturt University (CSU) at Albury-Wodonga this week to demonstrate and discuss the latest techniques in managing lower limb injuries.
- Chief Orthotist for Medical Accessories of Australia, Mr Andrew Torney, will speak on the latest bracing systems for lower limbs. Mr Torney has special interests in managing orthotics with children, sports injuries and lower limb orthotics. He provides orthotic care for major sporting teams such as the Australian Cricket Team, the AFL Brisbane Lions and the NRL Brisbane Broncos. His workshop will commence at 7pm on Wednesday 4 November in the Nowik Lecture Theatre, Guinea Street, Albury.
- Specialist sports physiotherapist and Fellow of the Australian College of Physiotherapists, Mr Matthew Stewart, will speak on and demonstrate the diagnosis and rehabilitation of ankle injuries. Mr Stewart is in private practice, has extensive experience in sports and orthopaedic rehabilitation, and is a clinical educator and lecturer with the University of Sydney and Sports Physiotherapy Australia.

Visit coordinator and CSU podiatry lecturer, Ms Caroline Robinson, said the free public lectures would be particularly interesting to Border health professionals who deal with lower limb injuries. “Charles Sturt University’s
School of Community Health is committed to inter-professional education and the University plays an important role in the education and professional development of health professionals in regional Australia,” Ms Robinson said.
