Prepare foot to attain correct balance and axis, preferably working from
radiographs.
Follow usual fitting procedure. When positioning the shoe on the foot, the
positioning of the frog plate is of high importance. Centralize and mould
to mate the surface of the Imprint shoe with the frog ensuring the apex of the frog plate is
not too far forward.
The
solar surface forward of the frog should not take any load. Ensure there is
adequate seating of the shoe to avoid sole pressure. In cases where the
dorsal wall has been re-sected there will be no attachment of the Imprint
shoe around the toe; it will bridge and protect the vulnerable sole.
The
attachment of the shoe will be via the button indentations on either side of
the foot.
