Prescription Orthotics
Are your feet and legs tired at the end of the day? Do
you sit
to stand with very
sore feet? Do you have difficulty walking comfortably? Do
you have difficulty completing daily tasks because of sore feet, ankles, knees
and hips? If so, you may benefit from a pair of custom prescription orthotics.
Gait and existing foot problems can be managed and corrected by the wearing of custom-made orthotics. Improper foot function and weight distribution of the lower extremities is often the cause of many lower leg, pelvic, and back complaints.
New Horizons
Rehabilitation Services Inc. provides
an
assessment to
determine if orthotics are required or would be beneficial for
particular conditions. Assessments are conducted using a foam impression of an
individual’s feet, which captures the size, shape, and anatomical structure of
the foot in the sub-talar neutral position. Measurement of the length and
width of the feet is also taken using a measuring stick, and relevant
information pertaining to the individual’s condition is collected. The
foam/plaster mold/slipper is shipped to Ontario Orthotic Lab along with a prescription form that
outlines the practitioner’s specific observations and requests.
A positive plaster cast is created and corrected. OOLAB technicians use vacuum forming equipment and processes to shape the orthotic module. Numerous accommodations such as metpads and cutouts are added in accordance with the practitioner’s order specifications. This craftsmanship is then checked by quality control to ensure that it meets the high standards that OOLAB employs.
OOLAB consists of leaders
