Description

The Medial Arch Wedge (Valgus Pad) is a precision-designed orthotic component intended for use by clinicians, podiatrists, and orthotic technicians. It functions as a medial posting wedge, providing targeted support to the medial longitudinal arch and assisting in the correction of valgus alignment in the rearfoot and/or forefoot.

This wedge helps to:

• Control overpronation: By elevating the medial side of the foot, it redistributes load and encourages proper foot mechanics during gait.
• Support arch structure: Reinforces the medial longitudinal arch, reducing strain on plantar fascia and associated soft tissues.
• Improve alignment: Corrects valgus deformities or medial collapse of the foot, enhancing lower-limb biomechanics and overall postural stability.
• Integrate with insoles: Can be incorporated into prefabricated or custom orthotic insoles, or used as a standalone medial wedge in clinical applications.

The wedge is suitable for patients with fallen arches, mild to moderate valgus deformities, overpronation, or medial-side foot discomfort. Designed for professional use, it provides clinicians with a versatile and reliable tool for fine-tuning foot alignment and optimizing orthotic interventions.
