QUESTION: Telma, how can I tell if my orthotics are doing their job? The job of an orthotic is to try to help distribute the weight going through the loot in a more biomechani- cally sound manner; in a way that minimizes the strain to the feet and to the rest of the body. There are tests we run in clinic to see if an orthotic is performing its job. People get orthotics for various reasons. For some people it is because, they have sore feet, for others because they have sore knees, and for others because they have sore backs. Orthotics help with these conditions by helping the person walk in a more supportive, better aligned manner, so they are less apt to strain the tissues of tneir feet, knees, and back. In clinic, there are two things you are looking for when you are testing an orthotic, whether it is a new pair of orthotics that the patient has just received from us, or whether it is an old pair that they are bringing bringing in for testing to see if they require a new pair. The two things are: A) Is it alleviating the patient's condition; and, B) Is it doing its job of redistributing the weight in a more supportive manner. For the second aspect we do balance test. For example, with the patient's orthotics off you ask them to stand on one foot and then on the other foot and compare the steadiness of both feet. With everyone : you will find that one foot is not as steady, we note that and then we have them put the orthotics on and compare compare if they are more steady. Another test which is especially good for people with knee pain is that you have the person stand on one leg again and then bend the knee and see how their knee feels with that. Then once again, with the orthotics on you have them do the same test. Not only will that give an idea of how steady they are balance- wise, but it also may give an indication in re-aligning the pulled knee joint, does it change the pain component component for that patient. So, then balance is a very critical test because with an orthotic, by realigning realigning the foot, leg, and hip better by giving it more support you are going to see better balance with a patient, that is what you are looking for in an orthotic. Now, the second factor is flexibility. A good flexibility flexibility test especially for patients who are coming in with back pain or back stiffness stiffness is to have them bend over and touch their toes with the orthotics off and also to bend sideways to the right and then to the left. Then compare these three movements with the orthotics on. If the orthotics are doing the proper job, you find that flexibility improves a little bit or that it is a little bit easier to go down again by supporting the feet and giving a better foundation for the back. You should note a somewhat somewhat better flexibility with the orthotics on. What you do not want to see is that with the orthotics on they are less flexible- because what this can indicate is that the orthotics are over correcting the patient and causing tension in the foot, knee and back muscles. When I see this in a patient I advise them to consider getting their" ortii'otics upgraded because later on it could lead to problems up the chain, The orthotics are over corrected if they decrease the mobility of a patient.
