For many years, podiatric physicians have been casting orthotic devices with the foot placed in the subtalar joint neutral position based on work by Root et al. Recent research pertaining to the subtalar joint neutral position during the gait cycle is in disagreement with the theory of Root et al and the inverted subtalar joint neutral casting technique. The current research and a historical perspective of casting techniques will be reviewed to help clarify terminology and to decipher the relationship between the rearfoot position during the gait cycle and casting technique.
多年来，足病医生一直根据Root等人的研究成果，在距下关节中立位放置足部的情况下制作矫形器械。最近有关步态周期中距下关节中立位的研究与Root等人的理论以及内翻距下关节中立位铸造技术不一致。本文将回顾当前的研究以及铸造技术的历史观点，以帮助澄清术语，并解读步态周期中后足位置与铸造技术之间的关系。
