What is Therapeutic Footwear and Total Contact Inserts
?
For the High-Risk foot we provide shoes and special inserts. These can help protect your feet from developing ulcers or to stop the ulcers from re-developing.
AADL (Alberta Aids to Daily Living), a branch of Alberta Health Services provides Off-the-shelf special Therapeutic Footwear and condition-specific Total Contact Inserts for the high-risk foot. Once you have been assessed by a registered prescriber at a High Risk Foot Clinic in Alberta you are eligible to receive Therapeutic Footwear and Total Contact Inserts through the AADL program, AADL pays 75% or 100% of the cost dependent on you financial situation.
Covers Therapeutic Footwear and Total Contact Inserts at 75% or 100% dependent on your financial situation. A prescription from a registered prescriber at an AADL-Recognized High Risk Foot Team is required.
Your shoes or boots fit much more comfortably with a custom-made insert or insole. A custom-fit insert or insole reduces strain on your body caused by walking or standing, improving your joint and muscle health.
When your leg lengths or foot shapes don’t match, off-the-shelf footwear is uncomfortable and impractical. You might walk with a limp or have persistent pain in your feet, legs or back.
