This guide describes functional foot orthosis therapy, including a history of the development of the functional orthosis and indications for its use, as well as an assessment of negative casting methods. It covers the fabrication of both root and standard methods of functional orthosis.
The functional foot orthosis has recently gained increased clinical credibility among foot health care professionals. Before biomechanically based lower-limb pathology can be successfully treated with functional orthoses, it is essential that the clinician understands how the devices are fabricated and what prescription variances are possible and required to achieve specific treatment results. This comprehensive guide covers every aspect of functional foot orthosis therapy, including a history of the development of the functional orthosis and indications for its use, descriptions of negative casting methods and negative cast assessment. A feature of the text is a manual covering the fabrication of a "root" and "standard" functional orthosis.

The development of the "root" functional orthosis; indications for the use of functional orthoses; negative casting techniques; evaluation of the negative cast; orthosis fabrication; negative and positive cast preparation; manufacture of the orthosis shell; the application of forefoot and rearfoot posts; finishing the functional orthosis; alternative fabrication techniques; prescription writing; treatment of the basic pathological foot; types; critique of a functional orthosis; fitting the functional orthosis; common problems with orthosis therapy and their management.
