Abstract: A podiatric orthosis composed of a material having a selected density and compressibility incorporating a biomechanically operative region which defines an aperture operative to receive plug inserts of a density and compressibility different from that of the orthosis for altering the biomechanical function of the orthosis in the region of the plug insert.
Abstract: An antipronation orthotic employing a lateral column component having a different density and compressibility from the surrounding orthotic region for mitigating the adverse effects of podiatric anomalies, such as severe pronation, rearfoot pronation and in-toe/out-toe gait problems.
Abstract: An orthotic for use with high-heeled shoes including a transverse and longitudinal wedges for inducing pronation and mimicking the forefoot valgus.
