This document is an alignment critique sheet for a trans-tibial prosthesis. It details three gait deviations observed in a patient - walking on the outside of the foot, insufficient knee flexion, and their likely causes. The critiques suggest moving the prosthetic foot medially to correct for excessive valgus, and posteriorly to allow for better knee flexion during gait cycles. The sheet leaves room to note additional gait deviations and their potential causes and solutions.

Gait deviation 1: Cause: Walking on the medial aspect of the foot on stance Excessive Valgus (the foot is shifted too laterally). phase (Valgus motion). What to do? Move the prosthetic foot further in the medial direction. Gait deviation 2: Cause: Insufficient flexion in the knee joint (extension The foot is shifted anteriorly. moment) in stance (LR) & swing (ISW, MSW). What to do? Move the prosthetic foot further back (posteriorly).
