We are fortunate that the business we are in, Prosthetics and Orthotics, that we have had the opportunity to manufacture our own custom insoles for our boots . As an inhouse training exercise we enlisted a lovely Orthotist, Catriona, who instructed me in the process of assessment of Pauls boaters. He did say he washed them special! Not so sure......
Apparently Paul requires a slight correction in his insoles which should help him to walk better.
Walking at all would be an improvement!! This is Paul hard at work.
Catriona used a method of 'slipper casting' using stookie bandage to take an accurate copy of Pauls feet.
Another method is to step into a foam filled box which will take an impression of your feet.
Once the plaster bandage has set it is removed. as shown by Cat.
We fill our slipper casts with dental plaster to make a 'positive cast' of our feet.
We will remove the bandage at our next inhouse day to rectify (clean up and smooth) the casts.
