About Us

LER is brought to you by the same team that brought you BioMechanics magazine. When CMP Medica abruptly shut down BioMechanics in February, a void was immediately created. Our research showed that there was a need for a multi-disciplinary publication focused and targeted on the lower extremity. Healthcare reform and the continuum of care has opened the door for the delivery of accurate, practical and relevant information for the various specialists involved in treating the lower extremity. Podiatrists, physical therapists, orthopedic surgeons, orthotists, prosthetists, and pedorthics are all connected in this process, and LER will be bridging the information gap between the various specialists as well as between practitioners and manufacturers of products used to treat lower extremity injuries.

With the ever changing healthcare delivery system and shifts in reimbursement, it is even more important to find ways to run your practice more efficiently and improve outcomes for your patients. LER will focus on outcomes and practical applications. With monthly coverage of trauma, diabetes, sports medicine, biomechanics, and rehabilitation, you can be sure that the information will be relevant for your daily practice. Our editorial board of advisors is second to none.
