This was a well run article on the use of the Inverted Technique and its effects on the ankle, knee, and hip while walking. All the results were positive except a slight decrease in push off ability with the highest device used (25 degrees). No negative effects were seen at the knee or hip (which has been shown before in other studies), but this type of foot orthotic device has a great effect at externally rotating the hip showing that it does positively effect up to the hip. The main effect of this foot orthotic was in providing great stability to the foot and ankle.
Here the top and bottom of the Inverted Technique is shown
