Custom Shoes for Cerebral Palsy

What are Custom Shoes for Cerebral Palsy?

Cerebral palsy pertains to a group of disorders in the body disrupting movements that lead to abnormal muscle tone or posture. Cerebral palsy is caused by the damage occurred to the immature brain during fetal development. The abnormal posture very often present in the feet, as a foot deformity and inability to walk with a normal gait, custom made orthopedic boots with built-in bracing can help tremendously with aligning and supporting the structures of the foot and lower leg so one can walk more easily.

Many patients with cerebral palsy use a leg brace inserted in an off-the-shelf shoe or boot to walk. While leg braces do help support you while walking, a custom-made shoe can be more effective.

Custom-made orthopedic shoes fit the foot more closely than a leg brace inside a standard shoe. This personalized fit means less movement of your foot inside the shoe, allowing you to walk more naturally.

To start the process of building your custom shoes, The Foot Lab does a full analysis and assessment of your natural walk and standing posture.
