Custom orthopedic shoes represent the ultimate combination of function and aesthetics. Incorporating biomechanics and craftsmanship, shoes can redistribute weight, restrict joint motion, facilitate ambulation, and decrease the probability of neuropathic ulceration. Despite these advantages, many podiatrists know little about shoe therapy and consequently underuse it. This article describes the various types of therapeutic shoe modalities available and presents a systematic method of their application. Some of the latest developments in technology and health care reform also are revealed.
定制矫形鞋是功能与美学的完美结合。通过融入生物力学和精湛工艺，这种鞋能够重新分配体重、限制关节活动、促进行走，并降低神经性溃疡的发生几率。尽管有这些优点，但许多足病医生对鞋类疗法了解甚少，因此很少使用。本文介绍了现有的各种治疗性鞋类方式，并提出了一种系统的应用方法。文中还揭示了一些技术和医疗保健改革方面的最新进展。
