Update and rationale for the inverted functional foot orthosis.
The inverted orthotic technique, also known as the Blake functional foot orthosis, is a prescription variable that allows for greater control of abnormal foot function. This article describes the indications for this prescription and the specific stability changes this technique produces. The authors conclude that it is crucial for laboratories to be brought into the process of orthosis development so that new techniques can be incorporated easily into therapy.
