Line of Gravity (LOG)
- From lateral view, the LOG passes:
- Behind the vertex
- Behind the mastoid process
- Behind the cervical spine
- Anterior to the thoracic vertebrae
- Behind the lumbar spine
- Via or behind the axis of the hip joint
- Anterior to the axis of the knee joint
- 5 cm anterior to the lateral malleolus
Shoe Modifications
Internal
- Not specified in the provided text (awaiting further information)
External
- Medial flare: helps control foot overpronation (eversion) and medial collateral ligament sprain
- Lateral flare: helps control foot supination (inversion) and lateral collateral ligament sprain
Test your knowledge on characteristics of ideal footwear, shoe functions, types of foot orthoses, types and components of different AFO, and prescribing suitable orthoses for selected cases. Dive into topics discussed in the 2nd lecture on L.L orthosis II by Dina Sayed Abd Allah.
