He
first
gained
international
recognition
with
his
interdisciplinary
work
on
the

walking.
His
proposal
to

Mr.
Pomarino
regularly
speaks
at
scientific
conferences
in
his
area
of
expertise,
at
events
such
as
OTWorld
Leipzig,
the
ISPO-Weltkongress

his
specialist
area:
The
classification
and
treatment
of
toe
walking.

include
the
first
monography

Critics
have
praised
Mr.
Pomarino
for
bringing
points
of
discussion
to
a
medical
condition
which
has
previously
been
ignored
too
often.
In
2018,
he
worked
in
collaboration
with
human
geneticists
to
formulate
his
thesis
that
genetic
testing
could
be
used
to
identify
a
clear
medical
cause
of
toe
walking.
This
would
allow
for
an
improved treatment approach that could be tailored to the individual.
Mr. Pomarino is the inventor of the so-called “Pyramideneinlage” (pyramid insole).

Mr.
Pomarino
received
an

Amigo”
which

by
