Heel Height & Amputee Gait - Case Study 9

A few degrees in prosthetic alignment can make a BIG difference! The only difference between the two videos is the shoes worn.
The video on the LEFT features a shoe that has a 3° heel-toe drop, or angle down from heel to toe.
The video on the RIGHT features a shoe that had a 7° heel-toe drop.
Watch for the differences and use this video for teaching the importance of prosthetic alignment and utilizing the correct shoe!
