title: [Treatment of positional anomalies of the foot with a functional supportive inlay].
abstract: Sometimes conventional shoe inlays are not able to treat foot disorders. Often clinically unsuspicious pathomechanical foottypes are the reason for these failures. In a prospective study we treated 35 patients with a so called functional orthotic. Most of them had used common arch supports without any effect. These functional orthotic devices are made of subortholene, they need a more sophisticated casting technique and fabrication. Facing the preliminary results with 81.2% satisfied patients, these efforts are worth for problem patients.
