Fitting & user guide
- If the foot has a forefoot valgus abnormality, measure the angle—where the plantar plane of the forefoot is everted relative to the plantar plane of the rearfoot (ground) when the subtalar joint is in neutral.
- If the angle of forefoot valgus is 6 degrees, the forefoot should be posted at 6 degrees under the plantar metatarsal area with the thickest part of the wedge proximal to the fifth metatarsal head.
IMPORTANT: Forefoot wedging techniques as noted above are based on an “ideal rearfoot” with no deformity.
