摘要：A method of making functional orthotics from a multiplicity of uniquelydesigned injection molds which have been constructed by studying large numbers ofreplicas produced from uncorrected replicas that replicate the contour of the feet of amultiplicity of patients. In one form of the method of the invention, following a carefuldimensional study of the corrected replicas, they are grouped into families, the membersof which exhibit lower surface contours that are substantially identical. An injection moldis then made for each of the identified families, in a manner such that the mold willproduce an orthotic having an upper surface that corresponds to the lower surface of thecorrected orthotic that make up the group. Companion data is then developed whichcorrelates the corrected replicas of each identified family with the uncorrected replicasfrom which they were made. A study of the uncorrected replicas then provides data as tothe contour of the patient's feet which they replicate. This data can then be comparedwith new patient data provided by the prescribing doctor and the mold can be selectedwhich will produce and injection molded orthotic which is appropriate for the particularpatient.
