A treatise on orthopedic surgery . The Taylor club-foot bi-ace, showing the adhesive plaster, by means of whichthe heel is held down, and the method of attachment. This brace was used byTaylor to correct deformity as well as to retain the foot in p-roper position, asis illustrated by these figures. As a retention apparatus the foot-plate shouldbe held at a right angle to the upright by the stop-joint shown in Fig. 543. rotated outward on the femur. Even if the tibia is actuallytwisted on its long axis, the influence of the brace and forciblemanipulation will usually correct the deformity. Acti

Active con-traction of the weak muscles may be induced by tickling the soleof the foot or by the use of electricity, and, finally, the entirelimb should be thoroughly massaged before the brace is re-applied.
