2nd May - orthotics
Sorry this page didn’t appear on time - I’m afraid that great zone outside foot and ankle surgery called life intervened.
Thanks to Mr Zubairy for organising it and all who took part.
Further reading
Difficult this time, as most orthotics papers are published in easy-to-hand journals like Neurorehabilitation and Neural Repair . If you feel dedicated, you might like to look for these:
Sheffler LR et al. Peroneal stimulation versus an ankle-foot orthosis for correction of footdrop in stroke. Neurorehabilitation and Neural Repair 2006; 20(3):355-60
de P Magahaes E et al. The effect of foot orthoses in rheumatoid arthritis. Rheumatology (Oxford) 2006; 45(4):449-53
Hsi, WL et al. Optimum position of metatarsal pad in metatarsalgia for pressure relief. Am J Phys Med Rehab 2005; 84(7):514-20
Unfortunately my favourite textbook (Bowker et al Biomechanical basis of orthotic practice) is apparenly out of print at the moment too! Does anyone else have a good book to read as an introduction or for the exam?
