ARCH HEIGHT The arch heights on the order form are for the cast correction, not the height of the patient's foot.
TOTAL CONTACT - The arches of the cast are made to what the scan measures, adding no arch fill. Recommended for patients with low arches or flat feet.
HIGH - We add fill to the cast to lower it by 2mm from what the cast measures.
MEDIUM - We add fill to the arch to lower it by 4mm from what the cast measures, This is the lab standard.
LOW - We add fill to the arch to lower it by 6mm
*The lab standard is to average the arch height if there is 4mm or less difference between the feet. If the arches measure 5mm or more difference, we make to each foot. If total contact is requested we make the arches to each foot.
