Sports have become a daily activity in most of our lives. Even as we walk, the
force equal to 4 times our body weight is transferred through our feet.
Unfortunately lower limb injuries arise but they can be prevented and treated with
rehabilitation and orthotic therapy. Orthotics are custom-made inserts for the
inside of shoes that can alleviate painful joints and prevent possible surgical
correction of such deformities. Runners and athletes commonly wear Orthotics
aiding the biomechanics of their lower limbs. Orthotic devices can benefit
participants of virtually all weight-bearing and impact sports such as running,
walking, cycling, skating, football, baseball, soccer, basketball, golf, etc. |
