Dress:
Dress
orthotic is designed for patients requiring maximum biomechanical
control in normal daily
walking. The proprietary Duramaxx module offers long lasting memory
and resiliency combined with excellent
motion control. Patient compliance is one of the most difficult
issues of orthotic therapy.
Comfort-Step helps to overcome
compliance issues with our
line of dress orthotics which can be comfortably worn even in
women's fashion shoes. |

Diabetes:
Patients suffering from
Diabetes should receive a Comfort-Step
gait and pressure analysis test regularly to identify those patients
at risk for ulceration. Identifying and reducing areas of peak
pressure along the plantar surface can help prevent the development
of plantar ulcers.
Diabetes
Type 1 (corrective) is designed for the diabetic patient
without a history of skin healing problems or plantar lesions. This
device may require extra-depth shoes. |
Diabetes
Type 2 (corrective/accommodative) is designed for the
diabetic patient with a history of skin healing problems (e.g. post
lesions), or with active forefoot lesions. This device may require
extra-depth shoes. |
Diabetes
Type 3 (accommodative) is designed for the brittle
diabetic patient. These patients often have midfoot/rearfoot
deformities. This orthotic has soft edges to reduce irritation of
fragile skin. This device requires extra-depth shoes. |

Arthritic:
There are many types of
Arthritis, all having two things in common, pain and loss of
movement. Arthritis is a degenerative joint disease in which the
cartilage that covers joint surfaces deteriorates, causing bone to
rub against bone. Comfort-Step has
developed a specific line of Arthritic orthotics to aid patients
throughout the stages of Arthritis. The Arthritic orthotic can
accommodate an existing deformity, provide increased shock
absorption, and control foot function. The use of orthotics which
combine these properties appears to reduce inflammation in the
joints of lower limbs. Their judicious use for patients with
Arthritis may help to slow the deterioration of the joints in the
feet.
Arthritic
1: For recently diagnosed
patients, the Arthritic 1 is prescribed to accommodate an existing
deformity, to provide increased shock absorption, or to redistribute
pressure away from prominent lesions. This orthotic can control some
foot function. Combining these properties appears to reduce
inflammation in the joints of the.lower limb. Their judicious use
for patients with arthritis may help to slow down the deterioration
of the articulator facets of the joints in the feet. |
Arthritic
2: For patients with chronic arthritis our new Arthritic
2 is designed for use in treating patients who require a less rigid,
more flexible orthotic. Orthotics of this type are usually
prescribed in order to accommodate an existing deformity, provide
increased shock absorption, or redistribute pressure away from
prominent lesions. |
Arthritic
3: For the most acute cases of arthritis our new
Arthritic 3 is designed for use in treating patients wearing
extra-depth shoes who require a less rigid, very flexible orthotic.
Orthotics of this type are usually prescribed in order to
accommodate severe deformities, provide increased shock absorption,
or redistribute pressure away form prominent lesions. |
