The picture on the left is the bare right foot. This foot is carrying
most of its pressure and force under metatarsals
1-4. The middle picture shows the patient wearing their own rigid
orthotic. Notice the improvement under the fourth metatarsal and
notice how the load spreads under the 5th metatarsal as well. However,
this orthotic distorts the pressure under the second metatarsal and doesn't
improve the first metatarsal as well as it should. The picture on
the right, with the patient wearing an SDO,
reflects a clear, even distribution of force across all the metatarsal
heads.
