Practitioner Information

This section of the TC Flex web site is directed toward the practitioners who strive to provide the best possible orthoses for their patients.  To support your efforts, this web site contains a variety of supplementary materials that include clinical recommendations for each design, two methods of casting for the TC Flex system, design-specific orthometry forms and fitting instructions.  Printed documents and Powerpoint presentations are available to increase the understanding of how these specially designed orthoses can be used most effectively.  The TC Flex system has been designed from thin and flexible materials to allow patients to experience more normalized proprioceptive feedback, balance and equilibrium mechanisms.  Total contact modifications defined in the plantar surface stabilize the structures of the foot and provide neutral, midline stability.  Flexible designs, precise modification, and consistent fabrication techniques promote functional biomechanical alignment and facilitate the appropriate use of available muscle power for functional activity.
