Dress:

Dress orthotic is designed for patients requiring maximum biomechanical control in normal daily walking. The proprietary Duramaxx module offers long lasting memory and resiliency combined with excellent motion control. Patient compliance is one of the most difficult issues of orthotic therapy. Comfort-Step helps to overcome compliance issues with our line of dress orthotics which can be comfortably worn even in women's fashion shoes.

All Sport:

Comfort-Step offers a complete line of sports orthotics designed and custom-crafted for the active person.. Our sport orthotics are specifically designed for injury prevention and performance enhancement. Each sports orthotic offers unique design features built into the Duramaxx module to accommodate the athlete's performance needs.

Diabetes:

Patients suffering from Diabetes should receive a Comfort-Step gait and pressure analysis test regularly to identify those patients at risk for ulceration. Identifying and reducing areas of peak pressure along the plantar surface can help prevent the development of plantar ulcers.

Diabetes Type 1 (corrective) is designed for the diabetic patient without a history of skin healing problems or plantar lesions. This device may require extra-depth shoes.

Diabetes Type 2 (corrective/accommodative) is designed for the diabetic patient with a history of skin healing problems (e.g. post lesions), or with active forefoot lesions. This device may require extra-depth shoes.

Diabetes Type 3 (accommodative) is designed for the brittle diabetic patient. These patients often have midfoot/rearfoot deformities. This orthotic has soft edges to reduce irritation of fragile skin. This device requires extra-depth shoes.

Arthritic:

There are many types of Arthritis, all having two things in common, pain and loss of movement. Arthritis is a degenerative joint disease in which the cartilage that covers joint surfaces deteriorates, causing bone to rub against bone. Comfort-Step has developed a specific line of Arthritic orthotics to aid patients throughout the stages of Arthritis. The Arthritic orthotic can accommodate an existing deformity, provide increased shock absorption, and control foot function. The use of orthotics which combine these properties appears to reduce inflammation in the joints of lower limbs. Their judicious use for patients with Arthritis may help to slow the deterioration of the joints in the feet.

Arthritic 1: For recently diagnosed patients, the Arthritic 1 is prescribed to accommodate an existing deformity, to provide increased shock absorption, or to redistribute pressure away from prominent lesions. This orthotic can control some foot function. Combining these properties appears to reduce inflammation in the joints of the.lower limb. Their judicious use for patients with arthritis may help to slow down the deterioration of the articulator facets of the joints in the feet.

Arthritic 2: For patients with chronic arthritis our new Arthritic 2 is designed for use in treating patients who require a less rigid, more flexible orthotic. Orthotics of this type are usually prescribed in order to accommodate an existing deformity, provide increased shock absorption, or redistribute pressure away from prominent lesions.

Arthritic 3: For the most acute cases of arthritis our new Arthritic 3 is designed for use in treating patients wearing extra-depth shoes who require a less rigid, very flexible orthotic. Orthotics of this type are usually prescribed in order to accommodate severe deformities, provide increased shock absorption, or redistribute pressure away form prominent lesions.

 Arch Support™ & Foot Corrector™

Our Arch Support™ and Foot Corrector™ orthotics are made of a material called E.V.A. (Ethyl Vinyl Acetate) which is F.D.A. approved. Prior to casting the foot, a proven pediograph weight bearing foot imprint is taken to check for weight bearing pressure. Accordingly the orthotics are made to correct the abnormality of the foot and restore the proper feet posture. When the muscles and ligaments are realigned, fatigue, and related discomfort will be eliminated.

We recommend that most customers use the Maximum Flex of our Foot Corrector™. The Medium Flex of our Arch Support™ should be used in specific situations, such as diabetics, older folks, and others who may potentially have trouble adapting to the Foot Corrector™.
