Posting Wedges

From $7.00

Please note new wedge dimensions. All wedges are now 7" wide x 12" long.

Description

Therapists and orthotists use posting wedges of assorted angles of inclination to accommodate identified features of the weight-bearing foot and ankle in order to optimize foot loading and function. The wedges serve this purpose in below-knee casts and shoes that accompany ankle-foot and foot orthoses and can preview the effects of comparable, more permanent orthotic modifications. 

Full Description

You can choose from 2-degree (beige), 3-degree (red), 4-degree (green), and 6-degree (blue) incline adhesive-backed, closed-cell foam posting wedges. Wedges are provided in 12-inch strips with a 7-inch width, and feature easy-to-use peel-and-stick backing. Foam is rated as a Shore A 30-degree hardness and is 100% EVA to provide superior mold retention.

Or, try all four for a 12% savings: the Posting Wedge Sample Pack option includes one wedge each at 12-inch length in 2-degree, 3-degree, 4-degree inclines, and 6-degree incline —  all with peel-and-stick backing. 

New: Durable External Sole Wedges Now Available. Our new extra-firm and highly durable 6-degree wedge (Shore A 50° hardness) is now available for those instances where you need to add posting outside the shoe, i.e. for kids wearing walking cast boots and tuned AFO-FCs who need to add standing sessions to their daily management schedule.

Stack multiple layers if needed to provide desired lift.

Wedge material is easy to cut with shears, knife, or razor blade.

Once installed, material can be cleaned or wiped with warm water and a gentle cleaner or disinfectant.

Post-op immobilization

Alignment issues requiring serial casting or AFO interventions

Equinus deformity

Idiopathic toe walking
