5.2 Adaptation
1) Place the longitudinal arch piece (12) in the heel container (13).
INFORMATION: To determine the placement, affix the longitudinal arch piece to a
piece of paper. Position the patient on the longitudinal arch piece, align it with the
navicular bone (os naviculare) and mark the contour of the foot using a pencil (see
fig. 2). Then cut out the contour (see fig. 3) and place it in the heel container (see
fig. 4) so the end of the heel meets the mark in the heel container.
2) Mark the position of the longitudinal arch piece in the heel container (see fig. 5).
3) Fix the longitudinal arch piece along the mark inside the heel container.
