The Process
The client is assessed to determine efficacy of device, device prescription and use of device(s).
If orthotic intervention is warranted and the client chooses to proceed, the limb is measured and casted.
The device is fabricated in our Mississauga office.
The device is fit approx. one week after initial cast.
The client is educated regarding use and function of the device.
For lower extremity devices, footwear is outlined and recommendations may be made or appropriate shoes are fit.
Follow-up appointments are arranged according to patient need.
Further involvement with P.T., O.T., or M.D. may be required.
