Orthotics Question: Telma, I have been told that I could benefit from orthotics for my ankle problems. Do you have any advice on how to shop for an orthotic? These days you have lots . of choices in shopping for orth- otics. There are many professionals professionals that fit them. There are several things, however, that are important to look for. One of them is the service aspect of the orthotic. You want to deal with somebody who will give you a thirty day money back guarantee and a 2 year customization customization warranty. Look for someone who will stand behind their product. Also, look for someone who will service you properly. Watch out for someone who is only going to see you once and not check-up with you again. Sometimes you don't know until the fourth week how you are doing with your orthotics. I believe that a minimum of four office visits is required to make sure that the orthotic is suitable for the client. In the first session, session, the client is assessed and fitted with the orthotic. In less than three days the orthotic is ready for pickup. I then schedule schedule visits one, three and seven weeks after pick up to make sure that the orthotic fits the cli- • ent properly. You want to make sure that there is a good service service component built into the price, and you should ask about that when the price of the orthotic is quoted. Stretches for the back and legs should also be given to help the body adjust to the orthotics. Traditionally orthotics have been made by taking a foam cast of your foot. The patient's foot is positioned with the heel in a neutral position into a foam box to make a foot mold, from which the orthotic is made. The main problem of fitting this way is the fitter induced error. For example, if the patient is leaning leaning forward a little bit or if the foot is a little bit twisted this will be reflected into the orthotic that is being made. So ask about how your orthotic is fitted. Today there is a new way of making orthotics. The client walks across a computerized sensor pad. This gives an imprint of your weight distribution distribution along the sole of your foot through the duration of your stride. This digital analysis can then be viewed on a computer and from there the orthotic is made. You may want to investigate investigate this new method. The advantage here is that the fitter error is taken out. It is a truer reflection of your foot because the foot is in motion and bearing bearing weight. The sensor actually takes an imprint as you are walking, rather than a static traditional type fitting. No matter how good the orthotic is, if you can't get it in your shoe then it can't work for you. This is particularly true for women. Ask about the posting or the way the correction is made. Is it built into the ortho- tic? This is the newer way of making them, we call it Intrinsic. This kind of orthotic is less bulky and is very thin and fits into a shoe well. In the older older type of orthotic, the posting is Extrinsic or added on after the orthotic is made, takes up more room in the shoe and it may not fit in some shoes like pumps or loafers. You have a lot of choices on the market today with respect to orthotics. There are a lot of people offering the service, service, and you need to be a smart consumer. Shop around and get a service that will deliver deliver you something that will meet your needs fully.
