Difference Between Accommodative Insoles and Corrective Orthotic

 

 

With a flat foot most of the time the ankles are leaning inward as you can see here.

When the ankles are leaning in we can do two different types of insoles.

This is a corrective insole and it tilts the ankles straight. So from here to straight position.

And then this is an accommodative insole. This insole still allows the ankles to lean in but it stops them from getting worse.

What’s the difference between the two?

Most of the time the patient’s foot is able to be tilted straight.

But, some of the time if there is arthritis, surgery or restriction in the joint movement and we cannot make the ankle straight then we would use the accommodative insoles.

This corrective insole is the most popular because most of the ankles that we see here in the clinic can be tilted straight.

So we like to get the ankle from here to straight position using corrective insoles or keep it held with supportive accommodative insoles.
