Medium
Fiberglass (recommended brands are C-Form from ST&G, Delta Conformable BSN, Delta Lite BSN and Össur Techform)
Recommended Technique
- Dry casting (with fiberglass)
- Use of a casting platform
Position
Sitting in a chair
- Using casting platform to replicate heel height and toe ramp (or another system allowing to replicate heel height and toe
ramp) - Metatarsal touching the casting platform
- Optimal sagittal alignment: correlates with heel height of
the shoe (+/- 5° of the functional alignment) - Optimal coronal alignment: to represent biomechanical
goals (+/- 3° of functional alignment) - Tibial inclination of 7°
