This course will cover gait mechanics related to the ankle. Specific deviations, as well as the orthotic solutions for these deviations, will be discussed. An equipment showcase with actual AFOs will be presented, and the biomechanics of these AFOs will be reviewed. The lecture will wrap up with tricks of the trade regarding how quick modifications to existing AFOs can be made, to produce immediate results within a treatment session.

1. Common Deviations at the Ankle

This chapter will cover commonly occurring gait deviations at the ankle and how these present further up the kinetic chain. How application of an AFO can remedy these deviations will also be covered, with rationales and biomechanics explained. Video demonstration of these concepts will also be presented.

2. Different Types of AFOs

This chapter will cover the different types of AFOs that are available and when these should be used. Video demonstration will be provided on how simple adjustments can be made to existing AFOs during a clinic visit to influence biomechanical alignment and get the desired gait results.
