Additions and Modifications   Shell with extrinsic rear foot post The heel post on this device is ground into the high density EVA heel stabiliser this allows any level of control to be ground into the device. The presence of EVA at the heel means that the device has shock attenuation at heel strike which avoids any transmission of kinetic energy to the knee or lower back. Motion control can also be ground into the heel to ensure that the forefoot is not affected by the heel posting.   Shell with extrinsic heel raise As a company we have taken a decision to ensure that all devices have good levels of shock attenuation at heel contact. This means that you have in this sample a device with an extrinsic heel, this offers all the mechanical control of an intrinsic heel but none of the concerns presented with extreme loading at the heel given by a solid heel.                   Jump to: Heel Pad First Ray Cut Lateral Rearfoot Flange Rearfoot Extrinsic Posts   Heel Raise Horseshoe Heel Pad Extra Foam Padding Medial Rearfoot Flange   Valgus Filler Forefoot Extension Extra Deep Heel Cup Neone   1st MPJ Cut Out Morton's Extension Forefoot Pad to Sulcus   Met Dome Extrinsic Forefoot Posts Reinforced Arch                                   Heel Pad Provides cushioning to those patients who have experienced a loss of fibro-fatty padding or those who require additional rear foot shock absorption. This can be located under the device or between layer on any device.     Heel Raise Can be produced to any depth required however a heel raise would normally be the full length of the shell tapering to zero thickness at the front and would be used for patients with an anatomical leg length discrepancy. Alternatively, a small heel raise can also be used just over the heel area.     Valgus Filler An addition to the Medial Longitudinal Arch area for those patients who require extra support. BACK TO TOP   1st MPJ Cut Out Suitable for patients with functional hallux limitus. The device allows pressure to be deflected from the 1st MPJ area, suitable for a plantar flexed first ray, sesamoiditis or to allow plantarflexion of the first ray/MP joint.     Met Dome For patients requiring support under the metatarsal heads for conditions such as; dropped metatarsals, metatarsalgia, hallux valgus, interdigital neuroma, interdigital bursitis, hammer toes or excessive callousing.     First Ray Cut Out A cut out which facilitates first ray function and can be used in cases of functional hallux limitus. BACK TO TOP   Horseshoe Heel Pad Ideal for those patients suffering heel pain or centrally located heel spur. This will be located between the layer on any device.     Forefoot Extension with PMP Cut Out Can be positioned where required to offload or deflect pressure to accommodate plantar warts, corns, severe callouses and dropped metatarsals.     Morton’s Extension Designed to raise and slightly immobilise the 1st MPJ for those patients who suffer with a dorsi-flexed first ray, turf toe, painful hallux rigidus or a short 1st metatarsal. BACK TO TOP   Extrinsic Forefoot Posts Recommended for severe non-weight bearing forefoot varus or valgus deformity.     Lateral Rearfoot Flange Intrinsically used when excessive pronation is obvious. This is used to slow the movement down.     Extra Foam Padding Under Topcover For patients who require additional shock absorption and/or cushioning. BACK TO TOP   Extra Deep Heel Cup A heel cup of 16mm compared to our standard heel cup of 4mm.     Forefoot Pad to Sulcus Recommended for patients who require extra cushioning under the metatarsals or when they have a loss of fat pad under the metatarsals. Specially designed to accommodate the heel.     Reinforced Arch Adds more rigidity to the orthotic and slow memory rebound, which is useful when treating a patient requiring additional biomechanical support. BACK TO TOP   Rearfoot Extrinsic Posts Suitable to provide additional stability.     Medial Rearfoot Flange Intrinsically used when excessive pronation is obvious. This is used to slow the movement down.     Neone This new material has the ability to store kinetic energy and return it to the foot quickly. It has the ability, when placed between layers of a D3D™ material of acting as a stabiliser. Clinically, it has been used in supporting patients with posterior tibial tendon dysfunction. With cases of heel pain when placed under the heel, it acts as a great shock absorber.         Terms and Conditions | Resources
