Static Alignment

Set-up Length
With flexion, adduction and abduction
properly accommodated, set the limb length
5 mm longer than the sound side to allow for
compression and deflection of the foot springs
during gait. This should be re-assessed once
the dynamic trial commences and the length
adjusted accordingly.
Build Line
This should fall between the centre line of the
pyramid and 10 mm anterior (with heel height
properly accommodated). The socket should
be positioned accordingly.

Dynamic Alignment

Coronal Plane
Ensure that M–L thrust is minimal by adjusting
relative positions of socket and foot.
Sagittal Plane
Check for smooth transition from heel strike
to toe-off. Ensure also that when standing the
heel and toe are evenly loaded and that both
are touching the floor.
