Regularly delaminate standard ToeOFF® or BlueROCKER® Have deformity or unusual leg shape Are in need of increased AP control Have extremely limited or excessive leg shape

2. It is recommended to assess the patient in a*

Solid ankle molded AFO PLS AFO Standard ToeOFF® or BlueROCKER® Short articulated AFO

3. For a custom ToeOFF® or BlueROCKER®, it is recommended to capture the model using*

Fiberglass cast Scan Measurement All of the above

4. A significant aspect in achieving success with a custom ToeOFF® or BlueROCKER® is*

Knee center measurement Proper shoe size Matching the heel rise of the ToeOFF® or BlueROCKER® to a rocker soled shoe Having a prescription from an MD

5. When sending a cast for a custom ToeOFF® or BlueROCKER®, the cast must be a*

Plaster cast with posterior-medial opening, no plumb lines Fiberglass cast with anterior-lateral opening, no plumb lines Plaster cast with anterior opening, anterior and lateral plumb lines Fiberglass cast, posterior-medial opening, anterior and lateral plumb lines

6. To minimize trunk sway, one could consider a custom ToeOFF® or BlueROCKER® with*

Increased M-L stiffness A change in the heel rise Extra space to add a ComfortKIT Increased height of the pre-tibial shell

7. It is no longer necessary to use a foot orthotic shell to control the biomechanics of the foot with a custom ToeOFF® or BlueROCKER®*

True False

8. A patient presents with 15°of genu-valgum. A foot orthotic provides little or no correction. The best way to accurately represent this angle is to*

Take a tracing of the patient’s unaffected limb Draw plumb lines on the cast with patient standing Draw plumb lines on the cast with patient casted in neutral Write down your measurement of the angle on the custom form

9. A patient who is of average size and shape but has delaminated two standard ToeOFF® or BlueROCKERs® is a candidate for*

Custom ToeOFF® or BlueROCKER® Properly customized standard ToeOFF® or BlueROCKER® A solid AFO Patient of the month

10. On a trial fitting, both the distal and proximal wings of a ToeOFF® or BlueROCKER® are digging into the leg of a 300lb patient. The best course of action is to*

Fit the patient with a Solid AFO Heat the wings and spread them out Increase the dorsi-flexion angle Cast the patient for a custom ToeOFF® or BlueROCKER®

11. With 5/8” (15mm) heel and ¼” (5mm) ball height measurements in the patient’s shoes, the heel height you should request on the custom form is*

3/8” (10mm) ½” (12.5mm) ¼” (5mm) ¾” (20mm)

12. Which of the following are critical to achieving success in fitting a custom ToeOFF® or BlueROCKER® as well as a standard ToeOFF® or BlueROCKER®*

Foot orthotic shell Rocker soled shoe Patient education All of the above

13. The dynamic properties of Allard carbon composite AFOs are*

All considered equal Just like PLS AFOs Different, depending on the number of layers and the orientation of the fibers in the lay-up Less dynamic than plastic AFOs

14. To establish a baseline used to determine the dynamic qualities of the custom ToeOFF® or BlueROCKER®, you should*

Evaluate the patient with a ToeOFF® or BlueROCKER® Simply send the cast to Allard to have them decide for you Use a hinged AFO and see if that works well for the patient Figure out what the patient’s needs are by watching him/her walk from the parking lot into your office

15. A custom ToeOFF® or BlueROCKER® candidate presents with mild crouch gait. One way to accommodate for this is to*

Increase the M-L stiffness, and make sure that the anterior plumb line shows the proper angle Soften the toe end of the footplate to enhance roll-over Increase the A-P stiffness by up to two times of the baseline (standard ToeOFF® or BlueROCKER®) Increase the heel height

16. A post-polio patient is a candidate for ToeOFF® or BlueROCKER®, but due to extreme calf atrophy the fit of the standard ToeOFF® is less than optimal. You should*

Proceed with a custom ToeOFF® or BlueROCKER® Tell the patient to stick with what she has been wearing Try to convince the patient to use a different product Pad the standard ToeOFF® or BlueROCKER® to accommodate for the decrease in muscularity

17. Because of the flexible nature of carbon composite AFOs, it is not necessary to make sure the heel rise is accurately matched to the shoe*

True False

18. A CMT patient presents with moderate equino-varus deformity. You should*

Add a medial T-strap on the ToeOFF® or BlueROCKER® Grind down the medial plantar surface of the foot orthotic to encourage eversion Fit the patient with a custom ToeOFF® or BlueROCKER® to accommodate the need for more room on the lateral side Do choice B, then choice C if necessary
