Live Q & A with Professor Hylton Menz

Live Q & A – the sixth installment in a series of expert webinars

Dr. Sean Docking hosts world-renowned Podiatrist and Researcher, Professor Hylton Menz.

Hear Hylton speak about who foot osteoarthritis most commonly affects, how to identify it, and whether everyone who presents with foot pain should have imaging done.

Hylton was joined by PhD candidate Merridy Lithgow. Merridy is currently researching lower limb biomechanics in individuals with mid-foot OA and is a clinician.
