ORTHAFIT ORTHOTICS 10 COMMON FOOT PROBLEMS
P
RONATION
GAIT CYCLE
excessive pressure at the base of ‘great toe’ upon toe-off; 5th toe twisted and contracted
midfoot torsion causing foot and ankle to roll inward;
most often elongation of longitudinal arch;
an extreme case is flat foot
quick lateral strike; then reactive medial weight transfer thus causing excessive inward heel roll. CAUSES
Gait, footwear, bone structure, hereditary, muscle and tendon misalignment, etc
SYMPTOMS
Knock knee (genu valgum)
Medial bunion (hallux valgus)
First metatarsal head, sesamoid pain and calluses
General pain and fatigue of the longitudinal arch
Heel spur symptom – (Plantar fasciitis)
Achilles tendonitis and/or calf pain
Medial knee pain and hip
Hammer toes 4th and 5th digits
Great toe cross-aligned
Shoe outer-heel worn
SOLUTION
Orthafit Orthotics’ designed with medial wedge to control excessive inward roll and to realign the bones, muscles and tendons of the foot. SUPINATION
GAIT CYCLE
4th and 5th metatarsal toeing off; (calluses around the lateral forefoot)
excessive lateral weight transfer/excessive outer roll at mid foot
central/lateral heel strike. SYMPTOMS
Chronic lateral ankle sprains
Bow leg (genu varum)
Lateral knee pain
Lateral thigh pain (olio-tibial band)
Calluses on the outer lateral aspect of the foot
4th and 5th digits contracted and twisted
Shoe midfoot aspect stretched wider
SOLUTION
Orthafit Orthotics’ designed to control excessive outward rolling of the foot. Customized metatarsal arch to realign forefoot and guide the foot through toe-off. FLAT FOOT
GAIT CYCLE
collapse of the metatarsal arch(most common)
collapse of the longitudinal arch (foot can be rigid or flexible)
over-pronation (most common)
CAUSES
Hereditary, gait, footwear, muscle and tendon structure, neuro dysfunction, etc
SYMPTOMS
Chronic foot and ankle pain - fatigue
Medial bunion (hallux valgus)
Poor balance and posture
Abnormal foot propulsion affecting walking and sporting performance (foot structure inability to lock and propel correctly)
General knee and back pain
SOLUTION
Orthafit Orthotics’ to reshape the longitudinal and metatarsal arches, thus returning the foot to its proper functioning. HIGH ARCH FOOT
GAIT CYCLE
overloading of metatarsal arch due to structural imbalance
contracted muscle/tendon structure, over-exaggerated arch and non weight bearing
overloading of calcanus bone due to structural imbalance. CAUSES
Hereditary, gait & footwear, etc
SYMPTOMS
Forefoot pain - collapsed metatarsal arch/forefoot calluses
Contracted and twisted digits (hammer toes)
General mid foot pain (longitudinal arch)
Heel spurs syndrome (plantar fasciitis)
Achilles tendonitis and calf pain
SOLUTION
Orthafit Orthotics’ to redistribute the body weight and restore normal gait cycle. Custom metatarsal arch to realign the forefoot. CALLUSES
GAIT CYCLE
collapsed metatarsal arch - weight concentrated at the 2nd and 3rd metatarsal heads and/or weight concentrated at the 3rd and 4th metatarsal heads
longitudinal arch - high arched or normal
pronation (most common)
CAUSES
Gait, footwear (high heel shoe), pronating foot, high arched foot, etc
SYMPTOMS
Build-up of dry, hardened skin directly under metatarsal heads
Chronic fore-foot pain, swelling, heat sensation
Corns on the top surface of the toes
Morton’s neuroma between 2nd and 3rd metatarsal and/or the 3rd and 4th metatarsal
Hammer toes syndrome
SOLUTION
Orthafit Orthotics’ to reshape and realign metatarsal arch; thus transferring weight evenly over the forefoot. NOTE: the client experiences total relief immediately upon standing on the orthotic. HEEL SPUR SYNDROME
GAIT CYCLE
collapsed metatarsal arch causes forefoot pain and stress of the fascia
longitudinal arch - elongation and torsion
tendon-like structure (fascia) is seperated from the calcanus bone; over time, a calcium formation will develop around the affected area. CAUSES
Gait, footwear, injury, leg length discrepancy, etc. NOTE: Can affect adults or children
SYMPTOMS
Heel pain during the first steps in the morning
Pain is felt immediately upon standing
SOLUTION
Orthafit Orthotics’ designed to reshape and realign both longitudinal and metatarsal arch. NOTE: the client can expect total relief within 10 days. Orthafit Orthotics’ specializes in this foot-related problem. MORTON’S NEUROMA
GAIT CYCLE
a combination of a collapsed forefoot arch and pronation will cause the individual
metatarsals to misalign; subsequently the metatarsal
heads act like a vice and squeeze the nerves between
the metatarsal heads. CAUSES
Footwear (high heeled shoes), over-pronation, high arched foot, sports injury, etc. SYMPTOMS
Sensation of needle-like pain between 2nd and 3rd digits or 3rd and 4th digits
Sensation of numbness of the toes and forefoot area (base of toes)
Sensation of sudden heat in affected area
SOLUTION
Orthafit Orthotics’ designed with a metatarsal support to reshape and realign the metatarsals of the forefoot. BUNIONS
GAIT CYCLE
collapsed forefoot arch; calcium builds-up around metatarsal head because of excessive weight distribution and pressure during toe-off
inward torsion
over pronation. CAUSES
Gait, footwear injury, leg length discrepancy, etc
SYMPTOMS
Pain and calluses around 1st metatarsal head and great toe, skin irritation and calcium build-up around 1st metatarsal head
Great toe cross-aligned and twisted
Forefoot appears wider than normal
SOLUTION
Orthafit Orthotics’ designed to correct pronation and re-align forefoot arch. HAMMER TOES
GAIT CYCLE
Collapsed forefoot arch (metatarsal arch) causes a muscle imbalance of the plantar muscle structure causing toes contract and twist. CAUSES
Gait, footwear (high heel shoes), injury,etc
NOTE: can affect adult and children
SYMPTOMS
Corns develop on the top of toes
Ingrown toe nails
Calluses on the front of toes
Calluses under the forefoot
SOLUTION
Orthafit Orthotics’ designed with metatarsal support to reshape forefoot arch, consequently balancing the muscles/tendons of the tarsal tunnel. SCIATIC NERVE
PROBLEM
Clients experience shooting (throbbing) pains beginning at the lower back - passing through the centre of the buttocks, then extending down the leg towards the foot. Clients often experience this sensation early in the morning or after prolonged standing and walking. SOLUTION
Orthafit Orthotics’ will correct over pronation, thus removing the pulling, twisting pressure of the sciatic nerve. In some cases, a heel lift is required because of a leg length discrepancy, thus realigning the hips and lower back.
