Metatarsal Pad

Metatarsal Pad

Description

A 6mm thick domed shape poron designed to lift and spread the metatarsals, recreating the transverse arch.

Uses

An excellent addition for treating forefoot/transverse arch problems such as : dropped metatarsals, metatarsalgia, hallux valgus, interdigital neuroma, interdigital bursitis, hammer toes, excessive callousing and a reduced transverse arch.

Contraindication

Rigid or immobile forefoot; tarsal coalitions.

Notes

We recommend that distal metatarsal pads be used bilaterally. The size of the metatarsal pad is determined by our technicians. This addition is usually placed centrally at the distal edge of the orthotic shell, but can be placed slightly more distal.
