Orthotics Fitting
Orthotics Fitting
Orthotics Fitting at Physical Therapy and Rehabilitation Center of Brooklyn helps address foot, ankle, and gait concerns that affect standing, walking, and overall movement. Custom or off-the-shelf orthotic devices can support the arch, cushion pressure points, and improve alignment through the foot and lower leg, working alongside other rehabilitation goals.
Who This Can Help
- Plantar Fasciitis — Orthotics can reduce strain on the heel and arch during daily activity.
- Foot And Ankle Rehabilitation — Proper support assists recovery after injury by improving alignment and distributing weight more evenly.
- Posture Training — Correcting foot position can influence posture and movement patterns further up the body.
- Fall Prevention — Improved footing and stability may reduce the risk of slips, particularly for those working on balance.
What the Fitting Involves
A fitting typically includes an assessment of foot structure, gait, and any pain patterns you are experiencing. This information is used to select or design an orthotic device suited to your needs.
Part of a Broader Plan
- Walking Rehabilitation — Orthotics often complement gait training for a smoother, more supported stride.
- Balance Training — Stable footing is a foundation for balance work performed elsewhere in your program.
- Exercise Therapy — Strengthening around the foot and ankle can be paired with orthotic support for longer-term results.
