Foot Solutions Goodyear Custom Arch Supports Hello this is Foot Solutions at Goodyear,
Arizona. I'm going to demonstrate the casting of a custom arch support. So Stay Tuned! You
will get a 15% off coupon. Ok, Lynelle, you decided after our presentation that you would
like to get a custom arch support. So what we are going to do is we are going
to cast you now. This is a full weight bearing, non weight bearing arch support.
So you are sitting and not standing, because if you stand you foot would be in a collapsed
state. We want your foot to be free so can capture your full natural arch. Ok, I want
you sit so that your feet are flat on the floor, that's perfect. We already rolled your
pant leg up, so I will move the left foot over and I will start with the right foot.
So I am going to set your foot into the casting box. I'm going to bring your knee in so this
will line up your heel, because we would like to cast you in what we call the sub-tailor
neutral position. And that's the calcanus, the tibia and the fibia. So I am going to
drop your heel, I am going to put your lateral arch in, and the drop the tarsal and metatarsal
head in. Make sure the heel is in completely.. Lift your foot straight out.
We are going to do your left foot the same way. Line you up a little better, turn your
arch in. You are a supenator, that means you roll out, so I need to make sure I have you
in alignment. Bring your knee heel in, make sure the tallus bone is straight, drop the
heel, and roll your knee. I am going to put the lateral arch in, drop the hallus and the
metatarsal head. Make sure they are in completely, make sure your heel is down, lift your foot
straight out. Ok, let's compare. You can actually see your
arches. See how high your arches are. This is a little shorter this is a little longer.
And that is the reason you need a custom arch support rather than something over the counter.
So what we do now is we send this to the lab, it takes about 10 days for it to come back
and when it comes back I will call you and then we will fit you.
