Understanding the role of each corrective component in your orthotic

Understanding the role of each corrective component in your orthotic

Orthotic insoles do more than just support the foot: they can be finely adjusted to address each specific condition.

 

Forefoot: relieving pressure on the metatarsals

Curved retro-capital bar (BRCG)

Made of viscoelastic foam, it relieves pressure on the metatarsophalangeal joints, stretches the toes, and alleviates calluses, corns, or sesamoiditis, particularly in people with high arches.

 

Retroactive Capital Support (ARC)

A more targeted version of the BRCG, it specifically relieves pressure on metatarsal heads 2 through 4 (useful for Morton's syndrome).

 

Arch support: supporting the arch of the foot

Arch support ( inner half-dome)

Corrects midfoot collapse. Comfortable to wear, it improves comfort and circulation. Ideal for flat feet.

 

Rearfoot: stability and postural correction

Stabilizing heel cup

Prevents the foot from sliding inside the shoe and stabilizes the rearfoot. Useful for instability, recurrent sprains, or ligament laxity.

Posterior supinator corner

Corrects heel valgus (inward-tilting heel). Made of cork or rubber.

Posterior pronator corner

Located opposite the supinator, it corrects calcaneal varus (an outward-tilted heel).

 

Correction of structural deviations

Varus band

Extending the pronator region all the way to the base of the fifth metatarsal head, it corrects high arches (midfoot varus).

Anterior pronator corner

Used to reposition (supinate) the forefoot and correct external rotation of the lower limb.

 

Maintaining toe alignment

Submetacarpal
Located between the first and second phalanges, it helps keep the toes aligned, particularly in cases of reducible claw toes.

 

Depreciation and adjustment


Heel Pad Used for leg-length discrepancies (short leg) or Achilles-related conditions, it provides cushioning and protection, with an optional insert to relieve heel spurs or plantar fasciitis.

 

Each component of the orthotic insoles serves a specific purpose, tailored to address specific functional issues or pain. The combined use of these components allows for precise correction, tailored to the patient’s anatomy and needs.
