An appropriate half-sole add-on is selected (available in three densities) based on the desired rigidity and control reguired for the patient. The application of the half-sole add-on to the molded orthotic allows the practitioner to determine the amount of resistive...
Excessive material on the sides and bottom of the half-sole add-on is removed with the grinder. This process allows the practitioner to grind functional angles in the orthotic as well as achieve a level plane on the bottom surface.
When grinding is completed, the product can then be easily posted on the rearfoot or the forefoot to achieve the desired biomechanical effects. This completes the Finishing process.
