Static Alignment

Set-up Length
Note: Shin blade should be vertical when used
with a 10 mm heel height shoe. Lower heel
height shoes may require the use of a packing
piece below the heel.
Cut shin to approximate length, allowing
10–15 mm for final trimming. Note trial length
will typically include 5 mm to allow for axial
compression of heel and toe.
Build Line
This should fall 1/3 of the foot length from the
heel.
7.2

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.
