All orthoses are custom-made from a cast of the foot, using foam-box impression kits or plaster slipper-casting. Custom orthoses are only manufactured after they have been prescribed by a physician, and the individual has been assessed by a qualified clinician. A typical assessment includes a complete history of symptoms, biomechanical evaluation to assess foot structure, range-of-motion, weight-bearing vs. non-weight-bearing positions, and function during gait. This information is then used to select the appropriate foot orthoases, based on the individual’s foot-type, footwear, and activities.Orthotic Services
