Historically, Custom Foot Inserts were called Arch Supports until 1905 when Royal Whitman introduced the first Foot Orthotic. Upgrades in materials, casting, fabrication and technology have been added to the Custom Foot Orthotic (CFO) over the years. The 70’s brought on “the running revolution and running shoes became an industry unto its own. For forty years until today the foot orthotic has little evidence proving how they work or what they can do. Subtalar Joint Neutral Biomechanics has been debunked in the literature. CFO’s need a complaint or pain to justify their use and their goal is to reduce or eliminate the complaint and make the patient “happy’ or ‘comfortable”. It’s time for the bar to be raised once again after forty years of the custom foot orthotic.
Introducing Dynamic Foot Braces (DFB), the Patented Custom Foot Inserts generated from a Functional Foot Typing utilizing Foot Centering Biomechanics locates and diagnoses the underpinning inherited biomechanical pathology of a foot to the rearfoot, the forefoot or a combination of the two that once treated or eliminated, treats the root cause of most complaints and pain syndromes.
At about age three, our Disengaged Posture begins to engage tip of toe to top of head eventually spawning one’s own version a his/her Engaged Posture that can stand, task and perform efficiently and injury free over one’s lifetime with practice and efficiency.
The CNS, Neuromuscular System, Vascular System, Myofascia, Bones and soft tissues are engaged in a closed chain posture from the head down to the Feet by manipulating five qualities of Human Movement which are: Stability, Support, Strength, Symmetry and Balance.
DFB’s add innovations to the orthotic like Vaulting, Independent Rearfoot and Forefoot exam and treatment, Muscle Leveraging Posting, bioarchitectural optimization and Repair of a Broken BioKickstand of the Foot when diagnosed, these devices can with additional foot type-specific exercise programs, correct, restore, and improve the Stability, Support, Strength, Symmetry and Balance of The Engaged Posture, from the ground up.
Dynamic Foot Braces are not covered by insurance and are generated from a work order (no Rx needed) and 3-D cast produced by a Certified Professional and fabricated by a Certified Fabrication Center with proprietary software and staff that can improve upon the casting and work order like never before.
The Study Material for the Certification in Dynamic Foot Braces Includes PowerPoint Presentations, Published Articles, White Papers, Casting Didactics, Work Order Proficiency and a Thirty-Three (33) Question Exam (with four additional attempts included if not passed) that once passed will Certify you in diagnosing, casting, dispensing and monitoring Dynamic Foot Braces in practice.
