Heel Cup Depth

Your patients each have biomechanical challenges that benefit from additions and modifications. We allow you, at no extra charge, to customize each orthotic to your patient’s specific condition, weight, and activity type by creating the additions and modifications you prescribe.

Features
3/8″ is our standard, 1/4″ is shallow and 5/8″ is deep and 3/4″ is very deep. A deep heel cup provides increased motion control, enhanced proprioception and better plantar cushion. We recommend this modification for plantar fasciitis (suggest also adding varus rearfoot posting). We recommend deep heel cups for posterior tibial tendon dysfunction in combination with a medial flange.
