What is a shoe last
a model of a foot that a shoe is constructed over
What is the purpose of a shoe last
serves as the base of the shoe and determines its size and shape and simulates the normal weight bearing foot
What are the 5 different types of lasts
conventional last, straight last, medial last, inflare, and outflare
which type of shoe last has the toe box slightly lateral to midline
conventional
What is another term for a conventional last
reverse last
which type of shoe last has little or no curvature making symmetrical halves
straight last
which type of shoe last has a shoe box that is slightly medial to midline
medial last
what is the most common type of shoe last
medial last
which type of shoe last has curves even more medially from the heel than a medial last
inflare
which type of shoe last has curves more laterally than the conventional last, from just distal to the heel all the way to the toe
outflare
which type of shoe last looks like you’re wearing your shoe backwards
outflare
Variance of which characteristics of the heel greatly impact function and support
height, size, and compressibility
The height of the heel influences the ____ required for the ankle rocker
ROM
The ____ of the heel influences the ROM required for the ankle rocker
height
The height of the heel influences the ROM required for the ____ ___
ankle rocker
Heels greater than ____ inches, exponentially increases weight bearing on the metatarsal heads
1 1/2
Is shoe sized determined more by arch length or overall foot length
arch length
The first metatarsal should be positioned at the (skinniest/widest) point of the shoe
widest
The widest part of the shoe should be wide enough for normal _____ in weight bearing
spray/spread of toes
It is recommended that the shoe should be ____ longer than the longest toe
1/2 inch
What are the potential effects of a poorly fitted shoe that might be too narrow
hallux valgus, bunions, or metatarsalgia
How might hallux valgus, bunions, or metatarsalgia be developed
poorly fitted shoes that might be too narrow
What are the potential effects that age has on influencing foot contour
increased splay, increased forefoot height due to toe deformities
How does increased splay, increased forefoot height due to toe deformities relate to foot contour
age effects
How might pregnancy influence foot contour
increased laxity, forward COM, and increased load on the midfoot
How does increased laxity, forward COM, and increased load on the midfoot relate to foot contour
pregnancy effects
How might obesity/edema influence foot contour
excessive stress on the midfoot, fluctuations in circumference
How does excessive stress on the midfoot, fluctuations in circumference relate to foot contour
obesity/edema effects
Repetitive ____ can influence affects of foot contour
stress
(correction/accommodation) The change in shape of the foot by placing forces on the foot to correct soft tissue which influences body modeling or alignment
correction
(correction/accommodation) Supports the foot in its current or preferred position if the patient cannot tolerate correction
accommodation
Correction of foot shape is appropriate for (flexible/rigid) deformities and is commonly seen more in (younger/older) patients
flexible; younger
Accommodation is appropriate for (flexible/rigid) deformities and for when you are trying to reduce ____ or _____ to a particular region of the foot
rigid; pain and irritation
