Heel Post
A Heel Post, sometimes referred to as a Rearfoot Post, is an extrinsic posting applied to the rearfoot region that can be full, quarter or half width. A Heel Post can be inverted, everted, elevated (heel lift) or inclined (pitched).
The primary function of a Heel Post is thought to be to stabilise an orthosis device against the ground and to control, limit or decelerate the frontal plane component of subtalar joint pronation/supination via varus/valgus angulation of the calcaneus.
| Available Selections | Min Angle | Max Angle | Min Pitch | Max Pitch | Min Raise | Max Raise | Min Taper | Max Taper |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| None (Default) | - | - | - | - | - | - | - | - |
| Full Width | -15° (Everted) | 15° (Inverted) | 0° | 8° | 0mm | 10mm | 0° | 25° |
| Half Width | -15° (Everted) | 15° (Inverted) | 0° | 8° | 0mm | 10mm | 0° | 25° |
| Quarter Width | -15° (Everted) | 15° (Inverted) | 0° | 8° | 0mm | 10mm | 0° | 25° |
Heel Post Angle
The Heel Post Angle defines the frontal plane orientation of the heel post. It allows a user to select a specific inversion or eversion value.
| Default Value | Minimum Value | Maximum Value |
|---|---|---|
| 0° | -15° (Everted) | 15° (Inverted) |
Heel Post Pitch
The Heel Post Pitch defines the sagittal plane pitch of the heel post. This is sometimes referred to as inclination, or shoe elevation of the heel post.
The primary function of Heel Post Pitch is to ensure adequate fit in footwear.
| Default Value | Minimum Value | Maximum Value |
|---|---|---|
| 2° | 0° | 8° |
| Note |
|---|
Please keep in mind that requesting a Heel Post Pitch will result in an increase in thickness at the centre point of the heel, essentially resulting in a simultaneous Heel Post Raise. |
Heel Post Raise
The Heel Post Raise defines the thickness added to the Heel Post.
This increase in thickness is added to the entire Heel Post area. This results in elevation of the heel.
| Default Value | Minimum Value | Maximum Value |
|---|---|---|
| 0mm | 0mm | 10mm |
Heel Post Taper
The Heel Post Taper defines the bevel around the perimeter of the Heel Post.
The primary function of Heel Post Taper is to ensure that the 3D printed orthosis can fit in footwear.
| Info |
|---|
The Heel Post Taper is evenly applied around the perimeter of the Heel Post. If you require specific tapering for the lateral or medial Heel Post, then you will need to indicate this in Notes & Attachments. Your particularly laboratory may then choose to apply this modification manually. |
Forefoot Post
A Forefoot Post is an extrinsic posting applied to the forefoot region that can be full, quarter or half width.
The primary function of a Forefoot Post is thought to be to stabilise an orthosis device against the ground.
| Available Selections |

| None (Default) |
| Full Width |
| Half Width |
| Quarter Width |
