Footwear Modifications
Modifications include flares and buttresses to provide stability for the ankle and foot; extended shanks and rocker soles to reduce forefoot pressures; and re-lasting, or re-shaping shoes to accommodate deformities.
Our Orthotic/Prosthetic Technicians are a highly skilled craftspeople who integrate specific orthopedic requirements into footwear.
Common modifications include:
Stretching to decrease pressure on various parts of the feet.
Lifts to compensate for a short leg / leg length discrepancy.
Rocker soles to decrease pain under the ball of the foot and assist with heel to toe transfer for ankles with reduced mobility or arthritis.
Buttresses and flares to increase stability and equalize weight distribution to the foot and ankle.
Adjustments to make it easier to place ankle-foot orthoses in shoes.
