Biography
Marise
Breet has worked as a biokineticist for the past 14 years, focusing on orthopedic
rehabilitation, sports injuries, chronic disease management treating special
populations with conditions such as Parkinson’s disease, Multiple Sclerosis and
Diabetes. Her interest in biomechanics and the pediatric population has
inspired her master’s study at Stellenbosch University on the foot morphology
of urban and rural children and adolescents in South Africa. One of her ideals
for the future is to influence the shoe manufacturing industry to develop shoes
that respect the unique shape of the habitually barefoot pediatric population.
