What is the best position for a patient to be in when being fitted with a tibial fracture orthosis? -
(ANSWER)sitting with legs dangling, knees at 90 degrees
What adjustment to a metal AFO would best accommodate excessive tibial torsion? -
(ANSWER)deflection of sidebars

with ambulation - what adjustments would you make? - (ANSWER)-is trimline bisecting the 5th MTP?
-does forefoot require additional support of extended lateral footplate to control forefoot abduction?
Patient reports pain and redness at the medial malleolus upon weight bearing which worsens with
