Function:

Clinical Indication:
- Pronation correction Inadequate clinical foot impression

Raise medial longitudinal arch
About:
Raising the medial arch is when a frame’s medial longitudinal arch is elevated superiorly within the foot model.
Note: This procedure is done in the modeling process. A positive model will have material removed to achieve a new, higher medial arch height.
*CLINICAL PEARL
When patients possess a flexible midfoot (excellent midfoot joint excursions), this is a fantastic method for increasing orthotic reaction forces on the medial longitudinal arch.
Orthotic Lab Codes:
RA-1p5: 1.5mm Raise Medial Arch
RA-3p0: 3mm Raise Medial Arch
RA-4p5: 4.5mm Raise Medial Arch
RA-6p0: 6mm Raise Medial Arch
Function:
- Increases medial orthotic frame height
