Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is meant for Podiatrist, Podiatric Medical Students, and health care providers interested in lower extremity biomechanics. The Inverted Orthotic Technique is a system of functional foot orthotic devices to be utilized in the correction of pronated feet, injuries requiring foot inversion to alleviate symptoms, and to help stabilize the mechanics of athletic endeavors like running and cycling. The book covers the selection process of the patients that would be appropriate to use the device, the manufacturing devices to be utilized, the follow up of patients and possible modifications to the devices for various reasons. The book also discusses injuries or pain patterns related to excessive pronation or excessive supination, short leg syndrome, poor shock absorption, and weak or tight muscles. The book breaks down the components of a good gait evaluation and aspects of the biomechanical examination especially important to the Inverted Orthotic Technique, like heel bisection and identifying equinus forces. The book discusses many biomechanical principles, but tries to maintain a practical approach to lower extremity biomechanics in a clinical setting.
