    Hi,
    I'm a student from Italy. I'm writing my thesis where I analize and compare (focusing on orthosis):
    Root's theory
    Sagittal plane facilitation's theory
    Stress tissue's theory

    Can someone suggests me some licterature about this, please?

    Thank you.

    Start with basics and go from there:

    Root theory: Based on premises of STJ neutral and locked MTJ position and biophysical criteria for normalcy --> deviation from those positions --> compensations --> pathology --> orthotics used to compensate for the deviation from the biophysical criteria

    Sagittal theory: Based on premises of sagittal plane motion at 3 rockers --> any blocks in them --> compensations --> pathology --> orthotics (and other interventions) used to facilitate motion at all 3 rockers.

    Tissue stress: Based on the premise that tissues with too much load on them hurt --> work out the mechanics that is causing that load --> reduce it or increase tissue tolerance
