✨All about Footwear Modifications!✨
What are Footwear Modifications?
Footwear modifications are changes made to footwear to improve function and to accommodate specific pathologies. Such pathologies may include a Leg Length Discrepancy (LLD), Ankle Arthrodesis (fusion), Severe Arthritis, Neurological conditions and Diabetic complications.
In this case, my lovely patient was born with a condition called hip dysplasia, which is a general term for infantile hip instability, dislocation, or shallowness of the hip socket. This has resulted in a significant leg length discrepancy (LLD) of 3cm.
As you can see, we have modified the footwear by adding a full 3cm foot lift to the outsole of the left shoe. This modification balances out the patients LLD, and provides her with balance, stability, and reduces her pain.
