| Popis: | The case history is reported of a 56 year old male patient with heel pain. The treatment consisted of the design of a cushioned accomodative orthotic with high density rubber cushioning (Rubazote). The Podiatrist and technician combined to fabricate an orthotic device which relieved the heel pain. The orthotic was fabricated form heavy rubazote in order to cushion the heel strike. An assessment of the gait pattern and subsequent adjustment to the foot-ankle complex resulted in a satisfactory treatment. |
