This weeks Fabrication Friday we are showcasing some of the steps to make your #CustomFootOrthotics 🦶🏼 Disclaimer: Prior to step 1, the specialist will take an impression of the foot. The foot model will be filled with plaster, modified and then our awesome technicians take over!
⁠
Steps 1: Prepping the positive foot model for vacuum forming! ⁠⠀
Step 2: Materials are chosen depending on the clients clinical presentation, biomechanics alignment and functional goals!
3)a series of foams and materials get vacuum formed to the model
4) Grinding & shaping the custom foot orthotics⁠⠀
5) The finished product with some fun patterns! ⁠
🦶🏼
The black & white FO is a cross section so you can see that the inside looks like! ⁠⠀

Fabrication Friday! 🛠
⁠⠀
Here are some of the steps our technicians take to fabricate a custom shoe lift! 👞
Shoe lifts are recommended for individuals with a leg length discrepancy (LLD). LLD can be caused by: hip or knee replacements, lower limb injury, bone disease, neuromuscular issues or congenital problems. Although discrepancies of 2cm or less are very common, they can also be greater than 6cm. A person must compensate for the height difference which leads to an inefficient gait pattern & postural issues. Overtime these compensations have damaging impact to the joints & overall posture leading to pain in the back, hips, knees & ankles.
If you have any questions about shoe modifications or Leg Length Discrepancies feel free to contact our office!

As promised here are some of the steps taken to make #Custom #AFOs! 🦵🏼 Step 1: Casting. A Fiberglass (or plaster) cast is taken of the limb!

Step 2: The casts are filled with plaster & left solidify to create a positive model of the limb (a replica)

Step 3: This is the step where the art begins! The orthotist gets a little messy modifying & customizing the model to optimize the fit!

Step 4: The positive models are read for thermoforming!
Step 5: Special plastic is heated & vacuum formed over the model to ensure fit!

Perfection takes time & so does custom making AFOs! Stay tuned for #FabricationFridays for the next few steps!
