The midsagittal line determines alignment in the... ✔Correct Answer-coronal plane
the average midsagittal line for a "normal" limb will intersect what 3 points? ✔Correct
Answer-perineum bisect, a point 15mm medial to the knee axis and 30mm medial to the medial
malleolus at the ankle joint.
a midsagittal line falling more than 15mm medial from the knee indicates.. ✔Correct Answer-
genu varum
a midsagittal line falling more than 30mm medial of the medial malleolus indicates.. ✔Correct
Answer-genu valgum
a shoe attached to a metal AFO must have simultaneous.. ✔Correct Answer-full heel contact
and forefoot contact under the metatarsal heads
the location of the mechanical ankle joint should be located.. ✔Correct Answer-at the distal
tip of the medial malleolus
what is the relationship between the proximal edge of the calf band and the fibular neck?
(metal AFO) ✔Correct Answer-they should be 20mm apart
what should be the average clearance for the apex of the medial malleolus and the medial
mechanical ankle joint be? ✔Correct Answer-6mm
what should be the average clearance of the apex of the lateral malleolus and the lateral
mechanical ankle joint be? ✔Correct Answer-5mm
What is the "line of progression"? ✔Correct Answer-the direction of forward progression
What is "toe out"? ✔Correct Answer-the angular relationship between of the line of
progression and the longitudinal aspect of the foot.
What is "tibial torsion"? ✔Correct Answer-the relative external rotation of the ankle joint axis
with respect to the knee joint axis
A distal perpendicular from the bisect of the ankle joint axis will allow determination of the
