The barefoot picture of this patient's right foot shows that he is carrying
most of the weight and force towards the outside of his foot under metatarsals
3-5. His big toe joint and part of his 2nd metatarsal in blue is carrying
very little. Now, with his own orthotic we see that it has caused a shift
in weight and force to to the center under metatarsals 2-4. We do see a
reduction in force and weight, but again blue under the big toe joint and
the fifth. When fit with the SDO, we see a much better distribution of
force and weight across the entire forefoot indicating a much higher degree
of balance and alignment.
