Describe the components of a shoe • Describe possible modifications in a shoe • Discuss the indications for each modifications • Describe the different parts of an Ankle-Foot Orthosis • Describe the different types of Ankle-Foot Orthosis Learning Objectives
Functions • To minimize pressure on sensitive, deformed structures • To redistribute weight towards pain-free areas • To serve as foundation of an orthosis Shoes
Sole Heel Lining Upper Components of a Shoe Reinforcements
Lies under the anatomic heel • The higher the heel, the more weight is shifted to the forefoot • Leg length discrepancy • Less than 2.5 inches - internal heel elevation • Greater than 2.5 inches - external heel sole elevation HEEL
Proximal HEEL Distal
Heel Breast Pitch
Military (10/8”) Spring (1/8”) Oxford (6/8” – 8/8”) Cuban (12/8”) TYPES OF HEEL HEIGHTS
SOLE • Outer Sole • Contacts the floor • Resilient outer sole to cushion impact • Inner Sole • Lies under the foot • Filler: separates the inner from the outer sole • Midsole – for athletic shoes

Lasts • Model over which the shoe is made
Types of Lasts Outflared Straight Inflared
Transfer forces from sensitive to tolerant areas • Reduce friction and shear on sensitive areas • Modify weight transfer patterns • Correct flexible deformities • Accommodate fixed deformities • Limit motion of painful, inflamed or unstable joints • Internal vs External Shoe Modifications

Steel sole bar • Inserted between the inner and outer soles • Approximately 0.2cm thick, 1.5 cm wide, and extends from a point 1cm anterior to the posterior edge of the heel counter to 1 cm posterior to the anterior edge of the toe box • Prevents motion of the anterior portion of the sole reduce stress on the phalanges and metatarsals • Used with a rocker bar to promote rollover Sole Modifications
Internal Shoe Modifications Heel Modifications Sole Modifications Foot Orthoses (inserts/inlays)
Medial/Lateral Heel Wedge Heel Cushions Heel Modifications
Heel Modifications Interior laced ankle support
Arch Support Toe Crest Sole Modifications
Sole Modifications Metatarsal Pad
Inner Sole Excavation • A portion of the inner sole under one to three painful MT heads may be removed • Reduced load on the MT heads and provide greater area • Excavation is cushioned to protect tender bony prominence Sole Modifications
UCBL Insert Heel Seat/ Heal Cup Foot Orthoses (inserts/inlays)
Sesamoid Platform • Stabilizes the first metatarsal • Reduces excessive pressure on the head of the first metatarsal by transferring some of the load to the MT shafts Foot Orthoses (inserts/inlays)
Principles • Note problems • Determine objectives • Give appropriate modifications • Evaluate fit of the shoe Shoe Modifications
Adequate room for foot to expand upon weight-bearing • At least ½“ (1cm) longer than the longest toe • The widest part of the shoe should coincide with the broadest part of the foot • The shoe should be snug from heel to the ball of the foot • Quarters should not gap excessively • Expect slight gapping at heel strike but this must disappear at midstance • Check if the modified shoe has achieved its purpose Evaluation of Fit
Pes Planovalgus • Arthritis • Flexible equinovarus • Ankle instability • Hammer toes • Leg length discrepancy of 2 cm • Arthrodesis • Metatarsalgia SEATWORK!!! Identify appropriate shoe modifications for the following conditions.
ANKLE-FOOT ORTHOSIS Leather and Metal AFO Plastic AFO
Ankle-Foot Orthosis • Controls the alignment and motion of the foot and ankle • Applies a three-point pressure system
Leather and Metal AFO 1. Non-articulated • Edema • Sensory impairment • Paralysis 2. Articulated • Same as above except • Weakness brought about by an orthopedic or neurologic problem Plastic AFO • No edema • No sensory impairment • Paralysis Indications for specific types of AFO
Components • Shoe attachment • Ankle joint • assists/stops • Varus/valgus correction straps • Uprights • Bands/cuffs
