a-j Putting-on of the Pohlig lower leg orthosis: a stocking is put on the leg before the liner is applied, then the stocking is pulled over the liner (A + B). Now the lower leg unit is slipped over the foot and fixed (c-f). The foot unit is slipped over the foot and the heel cap is closed (g). The foot unit is fixed to the lower leg unit by screws (h). The mounted orthosis fixes the foot in a neutral dorsiflexion position and physiologic amount of external rotation. 5–10° of dorsiflexion are allowed by hinges when walking in the orthosis (I + J)
