It also examines how visibility, connection and representation can either strengthen belonging or leave early career clinicians feeling excluded.

    The Biomechanical Optimisation of AFOs - why is it important?

    Ava and David unpack Elaine Owen’s influential 2010 biomechanics paper on lower-limb orthotic design, revealing why an optimum shank-to-vertical angle is essential for efficient gait. They also explore how tuning the ankle-foot orthosis-footwear combination can stabilise the knee, preserve trunk glide, and improve outcomes for patients with gait abnormalities.
