The Yucatan Crippled Children' Project The Yucatan Crippled Childrens's Project is a humanitarian effort of the Barry University School of Graduate Medical Sciences which provides indigent crippled children from the Yucatan Peninsula of Mexico with surgical care of deformed limbs. This short documentary was shot with the support of Dr. Ed Glaser and the Sole Supports video department as a donation to this worthy cause. The Yucatan Crippled Children's Project began as an outgrowth of humanitarian relief to the Yucatan in 1988 after Hurricane Gilbert ripped through the region. Gilbert, a category 5 storm, left 500 people dead and widespread destruction. Relief aid to the region came from throughout the Western Hemisphere. Dr. Charles C. Southerland, working with other health care professionals and public officials in Mexico hoped to bring medical care to the crippled children in the Yucatan as an ongoing project.

About Sole Supports TV

The purpose of Sole Supports TV is to educate the consumer and the medical professional alike about advances that have been made in our understanding of foot bio-mechanics through the application of MASS Position theory developed by Dr. Edward Glaser at Sole Supports, Inc.

We also hope to show how Sole Support full contact, MASS position orthotics are a proven method of addressing foot problems when they occur often negating the need for surgical intervention.

Of course it is NOT possible to diagnose anyone over the internet. It is always a good idea to seek the advice of a qualified medical professional who can look at your specific set of problems. But if you are a person that suffers from foot pain and are interested in Sole Supports or if you are a medical professional interested in becoming certified, visit our website at www.solesupports.com for more information about certification or finding a qualified Sole Supports provider.

About this user

Sole Supports, Inc. was founded by Dr. Edward Glaser in Nashville, TN in 1996. Dr. Glaser studied mechanical engineering, worked two years in that field and then went on to study Podiatry at the New York College of Podiatric Medicine.

After receiving his doctorate, Dr. Glaser moved to Nashville, TN and practiced for 13 yrs. All that time he was bothered by the inconsistencies that were obvious between what he had learned in Physics and Engineering and what was taught in Podiatry School.

During the years of his practice, Dr. Glaser began to research and experiment in the field of foot bio-mechanics. Ten years later he had developed a new approach to solving foot problems that not only agreed with laws of physics but the anatomy of the human foot as well: MASS Position theory.

Dr. Glaser began lecturing on the subject at universities and medical state society meetings. Over the last 12 years he has delivered over 700 lectures, authored several articles and sponsored research at several universities. MASS Position theory is now being widely accepted. Half of the Podiatry schools in the US teach the students Dr. Glaser's theories and the American Podiatric Medical Association and the Western Podiatric Congress in 2008 chose him as a panelist in the bio-mechanics section.

Dr. Glaser and his team are still doing a considerable amount of research and learning at Sole Supports, a foot and spinal research institute located in Lyles, TN just west of Nashville. Dr. Edward Glaser and Sole Supports have been on the cutting edge of foot bio-mechanics for a decade. This is evidenced by the next step in foot bio-mechanics to be introduced shortly: the G-Laser, a 3D internet-based, laser imaging system for postural analysis of the foot.
