IC11 - THE IMPORTANCE OF BEING EARNEST ABOUT SHANK AND THIGH KINEMATICS WHEN DESIGNING, ALIGNING AND TUNING ANKLE-FOOT ORTHOSIS FOOTWEAR COMBINATIONS (AFO-FCS)

Learning Objectives:
1) Discuss the kinematics and kinetics of normal and pathological gait and standing, with equal emphasis on segment and joint kinematics.
2) Categorize pathological gait by segment deviation.
3) Discuss a clinical algorithm to determine the optimum sagittal ankle angle in an AFO.
4) Discuss a clinical algorithm to design, align and tune AFO-FCs.
