Presentation 360

The corrective element is positioned inside the shoe under the lining at the level of the longitudinal arch. Its height may vary depending on the client’s individual needs. 

This corrective element is commonly used in the treatment of:
valgus knees, flexible flatfoot (pes planovalgus)

The last is situated in the position abducting the forefoot (causing outward rotation of the forefoot). The counters on the medial side of the foot are elongated forward towards the first metatarsal head (the formation point of a bunion [hallux valgus]). The shoe is usually fitted with rigid corset. As the name suggests (varus meaning‚ inward bent’ in Latin), anti-varus shoes counteract varus deformity).

This corrective element is commonly used in the treatment of:
clubfoot, foot adduction, pigeon gait

The last is shaped neutrally (it is neither adducted nor supinated), it does not feature the medial hollow at the level of the longitudinal foot arch. The counters on the medial side of the foot are elongated forward towards the first metatarsal head (the formation point of a bunion [hallux valgus]). The shoe is usually fitted with rigid corset. As the name suggests (varus meaning‚ inward bent’ in Latin), anti-varus shoes counteract varus deformity). 

This corrective element is commonly used in the treatment of:
clubfoot, foot adduction, pigeon gait

The application of reverse Thomas heel results in rising the hindfoot in relation to the forefoot; additionally, it adjusts slightly the position of the outer edge of the foot in relation to the medial axis. The heel is fitted in the sole.

This corrective element is commonly used in the treatment of:
varus knee, clubfoot (talipes)

Used prophylactically by pregnant women and people in „standing and walking” jobs. The pad relieves three metatarsal heads (II, III, IV), it counteracts the formation of hammer-toes and of convex forefoot. The element is glued under the lining at the appropriate spot of the foot. The pad location is determined on the basis of a footprint with its contour marked.

This corrective element is commonly used in the treatment of:
forefoot overload syndrome, Morton’s syndrome, hollow foot (pes cavus), metatarsal pain, metatarsal bone fracture

The aim of the correction is to change the position of the lateral edge of the foot in relation to the medial edge. The pronation wedge is the reverse of the supination wedge. The modification may be incorporated into the sole or fitted inside the shoe. It involves elevation of the lateral edge of the foot. Its height and length may vary. When fitted inside AurelkaORTO® footwear the wedge cannot exceed 1 cm in height (in open shoes) and 0.5 cm (in closed forefoot shoes). The wedge built into the sole of both open and closed footwear may vary in height depending on doctor’s recommendation.

This corrective element is commonly used in the treatment of:
clubfoot, varus knees (genu varum), forefoot adduction

It works just like the Thomas heel for over-supination, only in reverse, i.e.: it aligns the shin inwards from the medial axis. The heel is fitted in the sole. The pronating heel is elevated on the outside. The thickness of the hill may vary depending on the orthopaedist’s recommendation.

This corrective element is commonly used in the treatment of:
varus knee, clubfoot (talipes)

This is the reverse of hindfoot supination (underpronation). It involves position change of the lateral edge of the foot with respect to the medial axis. It may be incorporated into the sole or fitted inside the shoe - in the insole. The level of the correction may vary depending on doctor’s recommendation. It concerns hindfoot only.

This corrective element is commonly used in the treatment of:
clubfoot, varus knees (genu varum)

This modification of footwear is provided in the case of different-sized feet, e.g. when the size of the right shoe is 25, whereas that of the left one 27. When the size difference between the feet is significant, the thickness of the shoe does differ too. As it has a major influence on the visual aspect of the product, bearing in mind the well-being of our clients, we make every effort to make these differences as insignificant as possible.

This corrective element is commonly used in the treatment of: different-sized feet

It is a footwear modification aimed at equalising leg length discrepancy. In AurelkaORTO® footwear the lift may be fitted in the sole or in the insole (inside the shoe). The method of introducing the correction depends on the height of the lift.

Available variants of the modification:

• the lift fitted inside the shoe - providing its height does not exceed 1 cm in the hindfoot and 0.5 cm in the forefoot;
• the lift in the sole (any height available, depending on client’s individual needs);
• a section of the lift inside the shoe (in cases when the correction is to be less visible), the remaining part of the shoe lift being incorporated into the sole. The lift in the insole may not exceed 1 cm in the hindfoot and 0.5 cm in the forefoot. The heigh of the external part of the lift may vary according to client’s individual needs.

The lift always features a rocker sole at the level of the first metatarsal head. It is also possible to fit a heel rocker, which facilitates heel strike in higher lifts. At client’s request, the lift may be made without the rocker, with the same elevation of both hindfoot and forefoot.

This corrective element is commonly used in the treatment of:leg length discrepancy (LLD)

The wedge may be incorporated into the sole or fitted inside the shoe - in the insole. Its length and height may vary. It involves elevation of the medial edge of the foot. The wedge fitted inside AurelkaORTO® footwear cannot exceed 1 cm in height (in open shoes) and 0.5 cm (in closed forefoot shoes). The wedge built into the sole of both open and closed footwear may vary in height depending on doctor’s recommendation.

This corrective element is commonly used in the treatment of: flexible flatfoot, valgus knees

This corrective element has the form of a modified Thomas heel in an optional version. It is used in treating the tilting of the lower leg axis outwards from the medial axis. The thickness of the heel may vary depending on the orthopaedist’s recommendation. The heel is fitted in the sole.

This corrective element is commonly used in the treatment of:
knock-knees (genu valgum), flexible flatfoot (pes planovalgus)

This correction involves elevation of the medial edge of the foot. As the name suggests - it concerns hindfoot only. It may be incorporated into the sole or fitted inside the shoe - in the insole. The level of supination may vary depending on doctor’s recommendation.

This corrective element is commonly used in the treatment of:
flexible flatfoot, valgus knees 

This element introduces significant elevation to the standard counter (in prophylactic footwear the heel counter does not exceed in height the level of the Achilles’ tendon). The counter is made of an extremely rigid material, which makes it work as a corset. There are two varieties of it, ensuring heel or forefoot rigidity respectively. 

This corrective element is commonly used in the treatment of:
cerebral palsy, joint and foot muscle flaccidity

Variant I  - counters of equal height on the inside and on the outside

This corrective element is commonly used in the treatment of: This corrective element is commonly used in the treatment of: physiological flat feet, splay foot (pes tranversoplanus staticus), fallen arches (pes planovalgus) The length of the counters is equal to 2/5 of the insole, while their height does not exceed the height of the heel.

Variant II  - the counter on the medial side longer than the lateral one.

Hel counter: This corrective element is commonly used in the treatment of: physiological flat feet, splay foot (pes tranversoplanus staticus), fallen arches (pes planovalgus). The counter on the medial side is equal to 3/5 of the insole, while on the lateral side to 2/5 of the shoe’s insole, its height equal to the height of the heel.

Variant III – major medial longitudinal elongation of the counter towards the toes in relation to the lateral one.

This corrective element is commonly used in the treatment of: This corrective element is commonly used in the treatment of: hooked forefoot (pes adductus), club foot (talipes equinovarus) The length of the counter on the medial side is equal to 7/10 of the shoe’s insole, while of the lateral side to 2/5 of the shoe’s insole, its height similar to variants I & II.

Variant IV - counters of equal length on both sides.

This corrective element is commonly used in the treatment of: This corrective element is commonly used in the treatment of: foot drop, spastic clubfoot. The counter both on the medial and lateral sides is equal to 3/5 of the shoe’s insoles, while its height in the heel section is equal to 2/3 of the foot length.

It results in only slight elevation of the heel in relation to the toes. The heel is fitted in the sole.

This corrective element is commonly used in the treatment of:knock-knees (genu valgum), flexible flatfoot (pes planovalgus)

This corrective element stabilises the correct heel position in relation to the lower foot axis (by creating a reinforced support for the heel). It is glued under the lining of the hindfoot.

This corrective element is commonly used in the treatment of: hollow foot (pes cavus), rheumatoid foot with heel instability
