SMO Measurement Instructions

The numbers of the measurements given here correspond to those on the order form.

At the Height of the Medial malleolus, measure the distance between the anterior and posterior sides of the limb.!Horizontal AP at Medial Malleolus2. Circumference from Back of Heel over Front of Ankle: Measure around the foot, following a path between the apex of the Heel to the Dorsum.

Circumference from Back of Heel over Front of Ankle. Circumference through Apex of Arch: The path in which the circumference is measured does not have to be normal to the ground, it should fit naturally around the apex of the arch.

Circumference through Apex of Arch. Circumference over 1st and 5th Met Heads: This is also unique to Galileo SMO, so make sure you grab it! This must encapsulate the 1st and 5th Met Heads
