Proper positioning of the legs can only be
achieved after proper orientation of the
pelvis. If the legs extend and adduct a
spacer may be needed. If the legs abduct,
supports may be needed on the outside of
the legs. With tight hamstrings, knees
should be flexed to 90 degrees to avoid a
posterior pelvic tilt. Foot positioning is critical and
possible only after achieving cor-
rect alignment of the pelvis and
legs. The foot should be flat with
most of the weight carried through
the heel. This may require blocks
or straps to achieve.
Foot / Ankle Support
After achieving a proper base
of support in the pelvis and
legs, attention must be
turned to obtain neutral trunk
alignment. Proper
relationships between normal
spinal curves and the
position of the ribs is desired.
This also helps decrease changes of developing
spinal deformities. Most distortion of spinal curves
comes from low tone, or from reflex activity with
increased tone, with resultant inadequate trunk
control.
