First Plaster Splint Impression<br />

Casting <strong>of</strong> <strong>Foot</strong><br />

Edward Reed, MD, an<br />

orthopedic surgeon from<br />

Santa Monica, California,<br />

was first to describe<br />

plaster splint impression<br />

casting for foot orthoses<br />

in 1933<br />

Reed EN: A simple method for making plaster casts <strong>of</strong><br />

feet. JBJS, 17:1007, 1933.<br />

Alan Murray & Benjamin Levy<br />

In 1930s, Alan Murray, ice<br />

skater, developed shoe molded<br />

directly onto cast <strong>of</strong> foot called<br />

the Murray Space Shoe<br />

NY podiatrist, Benjamin Levy,<br />

developed idea <strong>of</strong> using inner<br />

sole from Murray Space Shoe as<br />

a removable cork <strong>and</strong> leather<br />

insole with a toe crest, became<br />

known as Levy mold.<br />

Levy B: An appliance to induce toe flexion on weight bearing. J<br />

Natl Assoc <strong>of</strong> Chiropodists, 40(6):24-33, 1950.<br />

John Tinkham Manter<br />

John T. Manter (1910-1968), was<br />

pr<strong>of</strong>essor <strong>of</strong> zoology at Columbia<br />

University <strong>and</strong> pr<strong>of</strong>essor <strong>of</strong> anatomy<br />

at University <strong>of</strong> South Dakota<br />

Wrote numerous articles on zoology,<br />

animal locomotion <strong>and</strong><br />

biomechanics<br />

In 1941, Manter wrote first English<br />

language scientific paper on subtalar<br />

joint <strong>and</strong> midtarsal joint axes<br />

Rec, 80:397-410, 1941.<br />

Manter’s Mean STJ Axis Location<br />

in 16 Cadaver Feet<br />

Manter JT: Movements <strong>of</strong> the subtalar <strong>and</strong> transverse tarsal joints. Anat Rec, 80:397-<br />

410, 1941.<br />

Manter’s Study Determined STJ Axis<br />

to Transverse <strong>and</strong> Sagittal Planes<br />

Manter’s 1941 study found that mean position<br />

<strong>of</strong> STJ axis in 16 cadaver feet was angulated<br />

16 0 from sagittal plane <strong>and</strong> 42 0 from<br />

transverse plane<br />

Manter’s study only determined angular<br />

deviation <strong>of</strong> STJ axis from cardinal planes,<br />

but did not determine spatial location <strong>of</strong> STJ<br />

axis in relation to plantar foot (i.e. whether<br />

STJ axis was medially or laterally positioned)<br />

Manter was also one <strong>of</strong> first researchers to study<br />

axes <strong>of</strong> rotation <strong>of</strong> MTJ<br />

Calcaneus clamped in apparatus to stabilize<br />

rearfoot <strong>and</strong> rods <strong>and</strong> pointers driven into unknown<br />

bones in forefoot<br />

Pointers aligned against glass plates to determine<br />

axes <strong>of</strong> rotation<br />

Forefoot moved with unknown magnitude <strong>and</strong><br />

direction <strong>of</strong> input force to determine axes <strong>of</strong> rotation<br />
