24 Myths, New Understandings, New Concepts & Strategies in the Management of Equinus Deformity
Myth #3: Allowing the ankle to plantarflex
in gait increases equinus deformity.
The ankle plantarflexes twice in gait, at Rockers # 1
and #3, and at twice the magnitude of dorsiflexion. Persistently altered hindfoot loading and sensory input can – and does - increase equinus deformity. |
This comprehensive text challenges the scientific and clinical rationale for 24 common assumptions (myths) in equinus deformity management.

| In typical Cusick fashion, this text thoroughly examines the issues and problems associated with ankle equinus deformity development and management, and offers practical orthotic strategies that focus on sensory input and postural control. |

What's New at the GaitWays Store...
-
Assessment Tool Kits have been expanded and updated!
We've added a flexible ruler and a new, longer goniometer with a lock screw. Check it out... (Current owners of the Tool Kit can buy the new components separately.)
-
Helfet Heel Seats are now available in pediatric sizes. Billi uses these prefabricated inserts routinely in her pediatric practice. These inserts are imported from England, and are hard for therapists to find in the US!
- The FlexCast instructional video is currently out of print. We anticipate converting it to a menu-driven DVD sometime in 2010.
