TL;DR
Perry's model of cognitive development provides educators with one model for fostering critical thinking skills in students to guide them through the uncertainty in clinical biomechanics.
Abstract
Uncertainty in the theories that provide the underpinnings of the clinical practice of podiatric biomechanics creates a dilemma: How should educators prepare students to make clinical decisions in the context of this uncertainty? Students need to be exposed to all approaches and be given the tools to make their own clinical decisions. Critical thinking involves the ability to weigh evidence, examine arguments, and construct rational bases for decisions and beliefs. Perry's model of cognitive development provides educators with one model for fostering critical thinking skills in students to guide them through the uncertainty in clinical biomechanics. This article presents the teaching philosophy that is used to teach undergraduate clinical biomechanics in the Department of Podiatry at La Trobe University, Australia.

It was shown that experts have more in-depth biomedical knowledge than novices and subjects at intermediate levels of expertise and generally support a three-stage model of expertise development in medicine consisting of acquisition of biomedical knowledge, practical experience, and integration of theoretical and experientall knowledge resulting in knowledge encapsulation.

This article will describe center of pressure and indicate how it can be used to calculate moments about the joint axes of the foot and propose a model based on the use of the location of center of Pressure relative to the locations of the subtalar joint axis as a theoretical explanation of selected foot pathologies and their treatment.
