Early observations of the effects of lateral wedge orthoses on lower limb muscle length and potential for exacerbating spasticity (2010)
Journal Article
spasticity. Prosthetics and Orthotics International, 34(3), 319-326. https://doi.org/10.3109/03093646.2010.504976Lateral wedge orthoses are often prescribed to correct varus deformity after stroke. Spasticity is implicated in varus deformity and is caused by velocity-related muscle length changes, so a lateral wedge may affect spasticity by manipulating foot an...
