METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR ORTHOTIC FABRICATION

摘要

A technique is disclosed for fabricating a foot orthotic (250). The technique involves the determination of the arch volume of the foot and the subsequent formation of an orthotic blank (102) including measurements of the neutral alignment position of the foot. The orthotic is then formed by removing a portion from the orthotic blank. The orthotic has an upwardly extending convex region which is arranged to engage the arch portion of the foot.
