• Assist practitioner in procedure to obtain patient model (e.g., record measurements taken, hold body segment during casting) and demonstrate appropriate interaction with patients and caregivers
• Review assessment of fit of orthosis and/or prosthesis with regard to anatomical relationships to orthosis and/or prosthesis (e.g., trimlines, musculoskeletal anatomy, static/dynamic alignment) to make needed changes to initial treatment goals
• Ensure that therapeutic shoes/inserts are delivered as prescribed
• Document treatment using established record-keeping techniques
