Gel heel cushion in custom-fabricated FO

Gretchen Wellman

Hi All-

Does anyone have any experience or recommendations for fabricating foot orthoses (plastic pre-sulcus shell with met pad, foam/cushion top cover to end of toes) with additional gel or similarly durable cushion material at the heel, between the plastic and the top cover? I feel it must be doable but my technicians are hesitant.

Thanks in advance for any advice.

Sincerely,
