Getting the best fit for your patient is the number one concern we hear from our customers. Both you and your patient want a great fit. But what are the most important factors in achieving a positive patient outcome?
We asked Dr. Doug Richie to give us his perspective. “More subtle problems actually cause the majority of brace fit issues. Proper positioning of the patient’s foot and ankle is the most critical issue,” said Dr. Richie.
How does proper positioning for Richie Brace improve outcomes?
The best fit starts with proper positioning. A few minutes of proper positioning serves two important functions. First, it provides the best cast or scan which creates a proper fitting brace. Second, it is an opportunity to educate your patients on how the brace will help them and what to expect. This education also helps to improve patient compliance.
In this video, Dr. Richie demonstrates the two most critical issues for positioning for a great fit: finding subtalar neutral, loading, or locking the midtarsal joint. Does proper positioning for Richie Brace really matter? Keep watching, and then you decide. See the most striking difference at 6:04 of the video.
