ORTHOTICS BASED ON ACTIVITY

Acor Orthotics fall into 6 distinct categories made to reflect different activities and lifestyles. Each of our orthotics are unique, but have one attribute in common - they are designed to help make people's feet more comfortable and to help them enjoy a better quality of life.

Therapeutic
An orthotic designed for the individual who requires more cushioning and is less active.

Walking
These orthotics are for individuals who are moderately active and want a balance
between cushioning and support.

Sport
Designed for the active individual who is looking for more support and less conformity in their orthotics.

Pediatric
Pediatric arch supports offer gentle, corrective control for young children through all sorts of activities.

Custom Fabricating Blanks
Acor offers custom orthotic blanks, known as QUIKformables®, to cut down on fabrication time.

Custom Foot Orthoses
Our Acorthotics® are crafted from cast impressions of your patient's feet and are delivered to your door.

Shape: Acor orthotics are available in either a biomechanical (full posterior coverage) orthotic or a hybrid-biomechanical coverage orthotic. The latter uses different material combinations to offer degrees of support and cushioning to targeted areas of the foot.
   
Biomechanical: Covers the entire base of the foot and, unlike flat inlays supports the arch offering a comfortable fit.
   
Hybrid-Biomechanical: Designed to offer cushion where the foot needs it most while supporting the arch. Combinations of materials with differing densities are utilized to accomplish this.

Materials: Materials come in different layers and qualities. Laminations (adding more than one layer of material) take a characteristic, which is poor in one material, and offset that characteristic with another material, which adds strength to the orthotics.

Sizes: All sizes are designated in U.S. standard women's and men's sizes.

Weight Range: A person's weight can alter the effectiveness of orthotic materials and shapes. For this reason, Acor has listed a suggested weight range for all adult-sized orthotics.

Activities:: This is a list of potential activities the practitioner can use in the determination of an orthotic. It further helps to pinpoint the right orthotic for the patient.

Item Number :: Describes the item number of the orthoses followed by the shape of the orthotic in either a (L) full foot bed, covering the entire base of the foot, or a (S) short foot bed, which extends from the heel to just behind the metatarsals.

Shock: Determines the amount of cushioning that the materials offer to the patient. A low number reflects a superior amount of shock absorption, while a higher number indicates a greater amount of support.
 
Explanation of shock ratings:  
1- P-Cell® Ultra Cushioning
2- Neo-Sponge™ Cushioning
3- Microcel Puff® Equal Cushioning and Support
4- EFM™ Strong Support
5- Plastic Rigid Support

Durability: Signifies how well materials will retain form after extended use. A low number indicates the materials will conform to the foot. A high number reflects a material will retain its' shape.
1- Ultra-conforming Minimal Activity
2- Conforming Light Activity
3- Conforming/Rigid Moderate Activity
4- Firm Orthotic High Activity
5- Rigid Orthotic Very High Activity
