Foot Positioning 11.0
Common Presentations 11.4
The following details common presentations of adverse foot positioning and
suggested usage:
Knee Extension
Suggestion: Foot positioners provide depth adjustability while keeping the foot in place
and still allowing movement.
Unequal Lower Leg Length
Suggestion: Foot positioners and fixed ankle supports provide greater height
adjustability. Adjust the feet and height so the femurs are parallel with the
seat and the feet are fully supported. The foot positioners will reduce
pressure under the thighs and increase stability.
Ankle Contractures
Suggestion: Foot plates and fixed ankle supports accommodate fixed posture and
support the foot. The footplate stabilizes the foot, adjusting inversion or
eversion, height, and depth without causing joint stress.
Knee Flexion
Suggestion: A shoe holder or foot positioner can be used to position the feet in such a
way as to regain stability and relieve stress from the hamstrings and
knees, all while maintaining a neutral pelvic tilt.
