Abstract

In the process of applying orthosis to the paralysed <or deformed limbs, careful consideration is necessary not to add further deforming forces to the already .abnorrnal limb. In this article several points were -disclosed which had been seen from the lower limb -orthosis worn by the upper and lower motor neuron disease patients, who were observed at the OPD, Dept. of Rehabilitation Medicine, SNUH during one year starting from Dec. I, 1978. Discussion was made about the cause and possible solution for the ,general neglect of tibial torsion and toe-out in fabricating the lower limb orthosis. An orthotics measurement board devised at New York University was introduced because it would be a relatively simple .and useful devise in making a better and biomech. anic-oriented orthosis.
