Custom-Made Foot Orthotics
Definition of Custom-Made Foot Orthotics
Custom-made foot orthoses (orthotics) are medical insoles worn inside footwear. They are designed and manufactured based on a specific individual’s feet and footwear in order to address a need determined during a clinical assessment by a qualified footcare professional.
