Custom Foot Orthoses
Custom foot orthoses (FOs) are specially designed insoles made to fit the unique shape and structure of an individual’s feet. These orthotics are crafted based on a detailed cast taken of the foot, providing individualized support and alignment. Custom foot orthoses are commonly used to address a variety of foot conditions such as flat feet, plantar fasciitis, or bunions, as well as to improve overall foot biomechanics and comfort. They help distribute pressure more evenly, reduce pain, and enhance mobility by correcting pathological positions of the foot during gait. Made from durable materials like EVA, thermoplastic, and foam, FOs are tailored to an individual's functional goals, activity, and lifestyle
UCBL Foot Orthoses
UCBL (University of California-Berkeley Laboratory) foot orthotics are custom-made devices that provide support and alignment for children and individuals with foot or ankle issues. The UCBL design is characterized by its deep heel cup, which provides rigid control and positioning of the foot inside the shoe. The device covers more of the foot compared to traditional insoles, often reaching higher up the sides of the foot to provide better alignment of the hindfoot and forefoot. UCBL orthotics are often made from rigid materials like thermoplastic, which helps to maintain their structural integrity and provide maximum control of the foot's movement. This design is particularly effective for individuals with more severe hindfoot and moderate ankle misalignment, as it is more effective at correcting foot positioning and improving overall foot function.

Partial foot
Partial foot prostheses are custom-made devices designed to provide support and correction for individuals with partial foot amputations or deformities. These devices are typically crafted to fit the remaining portion of the foot, helping to restore function and improve alignment by redistributing pressure across the foot. Partial foot prostheses are designed to integrate seamlessly with footwear, offering enhanced comfort, balance, and mobility for individuals with partial foot amputations.
