Orthotic Additions are practical clinical and workshop components used to modify, fine-tune, and personalise foot orthotics for improved fit, function, comfort, and biomechanical support. This category includes posting wedges, metatarsal pads, fitting packs, heel lift strips, and other accessories that help orthotic and prosthetic clinicians adapt prefabricated, semi-custom, and custom orthotic devices to individual patient needs.
For O&P clinicians, podiatrists, rehabilitation providers, and orthotic technicians, these additions provide a fast and cost-effective way to refine orthotic performance without remaking the full device. They can be used to adjust rearfoot or forefoot alignment, improve pressure distribution, accommodate limb length differences, support metatarsal heads, enhance patient comfort, or assist with direct heat moulding and fitting workflows.
Posting wedges are commonly used to influence foot alignment and control, while met pads help redistribute forefoot pressure and support the transverse arch. Heel lift strips can assist with gradual elevation, accommodation, or leg length compensation, and fitting packs support safe, efficient in-clinic moulding of heat-adjustable orthotic shells.
This category is especially useful for O&P clinics, podiatry services, rehabilitation centres, NGOs, humanitarian programmes, government providers, and private clinics that require flexible, scalable orthotic solutions. Orthotic additions help clinicians deliver more personalised care, improve patient compliance, and extend the clinical versatility of existing orthotic products.
