Measuring forefoot alignment with a table-mounted goniometric device.
Evaluating the need for orthotic treatment may include the measure of forefoot-to-hindfoot alignment. This paper describes a table-mounted goniometric device that improves intra-rater reliability and simplifies the measurement of forefoot alignment. Instructions for constructing the device are provided. Use of this device may help clinicians evaluate forefoot alignment when making orthotic corr...

متن کاملRehabilitation of ataxic gait following cerebellar lesions: Applying theory to practice.
Damage to the cerebellum can result in ataxic gait, which affects the ability to walk safely and independently. Physiotherapy is the main treatment for ataxic gait, but there is limited high-quality evidence for interventions used. This review explores the neural mechanisms of the symptoms of ataxic gait, by discussing the cerebellum's role in coordination, motor learning, anticipatory postural...
