Abstract
ABSTRACT Introduction The objective of this study was to reproduce a skater-style shoe lift. Methods Tracings and measurements taken from the previous skater shoe lift were used to make a reproduction of a new skater shoe lift. Results A successful reproduction of the skater sole lift was completed. Clinical Relevance This is clinically relevant due to allowing patients an additional option for large leg-length discrepancies to avoid surgery while still providing a strong, stable base and reducing overall weight.
期刊介绍:
Published quarterly by the AAOP, JPO: Journal of Prosthetics and Orthotics provides information on new devices, fitting and fabrication techniques, and patient management experiences. The focus is on prosthetics and orthotics, with timely reports from related fields such as orthopaedic research, occupational therapy, physical therapy, orthopaedic surgery, amputation surgery, physical medicine, biomedical engineering, psychology, ethics, and gait analysis. Each issue contains research-based articles reviewed and approved by a highly qualified editorial board and an Academy self-study quiz offering two PCE''s.
