Special Needs Population and Custom Orthotics

For individuals with special needs, foot and ankle conditions are often more prevalent, necessitating careful consideration when prescribing custom orthotics. Conditions like plantar fasciitis, medial tibial stress syndrome, hallux limitus, and rigidus are commonly observed, especially among those with Down syndrome or Fragile X syndrome. When designing orthotics for special needs patients, modifications may be required to accommodate unique foot shapes and biomechanical issues. Attention to materials and shoe compatibility is important to ensure optimal support and comfort. A biomechanical examination is essential to assess gait patterns and identify specific needs. Podiatrists specialize in working with such patients, providing tailored orthotic solutions, and collaborating with caregivers to address individual requirements effectively. If you have special needs and have foot issues, or if you are caring for such an individual, it is suggested that you schedule an appointment with a podiatrist who can help enhance their mobility, comfort, and overall foot health.
