    The document provides guidance on examining lower extremity orthotics. It states that examination is essential for orthotic management and the physical therapist should ensure the orthosis fits and functions properly before training the patient. When the orthosis is delivered, the orthotic clinic team or physical therapist should determine if it passes, receives a provisional pass, or fails based on adequacy and any defects. A pass means the orthosis is satisfactory, a provisional pass means minor faults exist but training can still occur, and a fail means a major defect prevents training until resolved. The document then provides questions to answer on static and dynamic examination of lower extremity orthotics.

    EXTREMITY ORTHOTIC
    EXAMINATION SCORE:_______________
    RATING: ______________

    Examination is an essential element of orthotic management. The physical therapist should be certain that
    the orthosis fits and functions properly before attempting to train the patient to use it. Analysis may be
    conducted under the aegis of a formal orthotic clinic team. If so, when the orthosis is delivered, the team
    should determine the adequacy of the orthosis as pass, provisional pass, or fail. Pass indicates that the
    orthosis is altogether satisfactory and the patient is ready for training. Provisional pass means that minor
    faults exist, generally having to do with the cosmetic finishing of the appliance; the patient can wear the
    orthosis in the training program without harmful effect. Failure signifies that the orthosis has a major defect
    that would interfere with training; for example, shoes that are too tight for the patient. The problem must be
    resolved before training can begin. If the orthosis is not prescribed by a clinic team, the physical therapist
    should use the evaluation procedure to ensure that the orthosis meets the patient’s needs.

    Instructions: After reviewing the modules and slides on Lower Limb Orthotics, research using different
    respected sources and answer the following questions on Orthotic Examination.

    1. STATIC EXAMINATION
    - The static component examines the orthosis on the patient while standing and sitting, as well as
    examination of the device off the individual.
