How do you determine the mechanical ankle joint level? Distal tip of the medial malleolus or the apex of the lateral malleolus If you want to create a knee flexion moment, what shoe or ankle joint features are needed? More heel: heel wedge, harder sole; more ankle dorsiflexion- PF resist or stop, df assist Characteristics of clubfoot? Ankle equinus, hindfoot varus, forefoot adduction Why do trimlines need to be symmetrical on the ankle of the AFO? to prevent torqueing the line o...

A favorable outcome in orthotic management of a tibial fracture is: A. no more than 15 degrees angulation in the sagittal or coronal planes B. no more than 5 degrees of angulation in any plane C. no more than 25mm shortening D. no long term ankle arthritis B. no more than 5 degrees of angulation in any plane the ligament on which the talus rests and which helps support the medial longitudinal arch of the foot: A. long plantar ligament B. plantar calcaneonavicular ligament C. deltoid ...

What motion and at what phase of gait does a cushioned heel simulate? plantarflexion at heel strike, initial contact Injury to which nerve presents as paralytic equinus during swing phase? common peroneal nerve If the ankle is 90 degrees at initial contact, what type of moment do you have at the knee? Knee flexion moment If the ankle is in 3 degrees of plantarflexion at midstance, what type of moment do you have at the knee? knee extension moment During which phase of gait do...
