Interactive Posting.
A variety of posts can be easily attached to the bottom of the orthotic to fine tune the alignment of the foot on site.
Orthofeet offers a unique Interactive Posting Technique, which providesthe best control of foot function. The basic concept of this techniqueis that a variety of pre shaped extrinsic posts can be added to thebottom of the orthotic to align the foot in a desired position (i.e.:“Neutral Position”). The foot function is then checked, while thepatient is walking with the orthotic. This allows you to fine tune thealignment of the foot in a trial and error process, based on both yourassessment and the patient's feedback.
The posts are available in 3, 4 and 5 degrees, and comprise a strongpressure-sensitive adhesive for easy application. They come in twodifferent forms: Posting Strips and Rear Foot Posts. The Posting Stripsare 3" wide and 17" long. Any type of posting, such as rear foot,forefoot, medial or lateral can be trimmed from the strip and easilyattached to the appropriate location on the bottom of the orthotic. TheRear Foot Posts are pre-cut to fit the shape of the heel portion of theorthotic and do not require trimming. They are specially designed tofacilitate the application of the commonly used rear foot Varus posts.
