foot&shoe goes scientific

In healthcare the demand for evidence from well designed and conducted research rises. This also applies to the treatment of foot problems. More and more research projects are dedicated to the treatment and care of foot problems. Though there are indeed already scientific journals dealing with the lower extremities - a scientific publication platform for studies on the treatment and care of foot problems however has been missing so far. We would like to close this gap with our journal "foot&shoe". "foot&shoe" is the only English specialized journal for all professions around feet and shoes.

We are convinced that there is a demand for a journal where research results from all areas can be published that improve the treatment of foot diseases and help to put treatment concepts on a scientific basis. With the introduction of a peer review process, "foot&shoe" is also open for scientific publications.

We are very happy that we already could win some renowned and highly skilled specialists in the field as members of our editorial board. The first members are:

Prof. Dr. med. Bernhard Greitemann (Head of Editorial Board),
Klinik Münsterland, Bad-Rothenfelde, Germany

Prof. PhD CEng CSci Nachiappan Chockalingam,
Faculty of Health Sciences, Staffordshire University, United Kingdom

Prof. Dr. med. Markus Walther,

Dr. med. Hartmut Stinus,

Dipl.-Ing., OSM Thomas Stief,

The new members of our editorial board support us as counselors and reviewers. We believe that they will significantly contribute to the development of "foot&shoe" with their specialized knowledge and competence and that they can offer us important assessments of the submitted articles.

We appreciate their support very much and look very much forward to working together!
