Orthotics
Josh Bailey, our certified pedorthist, evaluates patients’ biomechanical alignment to design customized devices that can improve the function of a foot, ankle or entire lower extremity. He may also use this information to provide recommendations for appropriate shoe selection.
This custom fabrication process is yet another way that Rehab Associates goes beyond physical therapy to help patients recover the ability to walk or run without pain.
The Orthotic fabrication process includes:
- a postural evaluation
- an assessment of foot/ankle alignment
- casting of the foot
- positive mold fabrication/modification
- molding of the orthotic materials
- grinding materials to exact specifications
