Custom made functional foot orthotic devices offer several advantages over off-the-shelf options.
1. Tailored Fit: Custom orthotics are designed based on a unique scanning of the patient’s foot. This ensures a precise fit that matches the individual’s foot shape, size, and arch type. A better fit means better support and stability.
2. Addressing Specific Needs: Functional foot orthotics can be customized to address specific bio mechanical issues or foot conditions that the patient may have, such as overpronation, supination, flat feet, or high arches. By correcting these issues, custom orthotics can help alleviate pain and discomfort while promoting proper alignment and function.
3. Improved Comfort: Custom orthotics are designed to distribute pressure evenly across the foot, reducing the risk of hot spots or areas of discomfort. This enhanced comfort encourages patients to wear their orthotics consistently, which is crucial for long-term effectiveness.
4. Enhanced stability and proprioception: By providing support and alignment, custom orthotics can improve stability, proprioception (awareness of body position), and balance. This is particularly beneficial for individuals engaged in physical activities or those with conditions affecting balance or gait.
5. Range of Adjustment: Custom orthotics can be adjusted to meet the specific needs and preferences of each patient.
Overall, custom made functional foot orthotic devices offer a personalized approach to foot support and stability, addressing the unique needs of each patient for optimal comfort, function, and mobility.
