Forensic Podiatry is a sub-discipline of forensic science wherein knowledge of forensic medicine is used in conjunction with knowledge of the anatomy, function, deformities and diseases of the foot, ankle, lower extremities, and at times, the entire human body, to examine foot-related evidence in a legal and/or criminal investigation context. Foot-related evidence can comprise different forms, including but not limited to: static and dynamic foot impressions (i.e. footprints) in footwear, on surfaces, in substrates, on victims; partial or complete pedal remains; or as found in medical records or x-ray (often to identify unknown individuals). In the course of an investigation, forensic podiatrists may examine footprints, footwear, or analyze and compare the gait of unknown individuals. In September, 2003, an organization was formed called the American Society of Forensic Podiatry. In July, 2007, with the help of ASFP members, a forensic podiatry sub-committee was established within the structure of the International Association for Identification. In 2013 a Forensic Podiatry group was started at New York College of Podiatric Medicine under the auspices of Dr. Bryan B. Kagan DPM. In addition to the group a formal class covering the aspects of Forensic Podiatry is being held at New York College of Podiatric Medicine open to their DPM candidates. Students exit the class with an in depth knowledge of Forensic Podiatry and other legal knowledge applicable to current cases. Also in 2013, a student forensic podiatry group was started at Temple University School of Podiatric Medicine. ==External links== *(New York College of Podiatric Medicine ) *(American Society of Forensic Podiatry ) *(Forensic Podiatry: Dr.Bryan B.
