Currently we are only reccommending our Total-Control Theta-Orthotics for athletes. This device can not be used part time with our Standard Theta-Orthotics and does not work in many dress shoes

During normal walking activity the foot can be controled quite well with our Standard 3/4 length Theta-Orthotic. For activity that places the feet in predominantly propulsive phase of gait our new Total- Control design is the treatment product you want.

Traditionally one pair treatment programs are used within the orthotic industry. Occasionally Physicians will re-bend the plastic prescription orthotics to get a little more correction once the patient adjusts to the starting level. Other orthotic treatments on the market use pads to increase the correction as much as 3-4 degrees as the patient adjusts to the change in foot function.. 

Once we discovered Theta and could actually measure the correction in each and every orthotic device we prescribed, we learned that:

• Every 5 degree increase in correction almost doubles the benefit of the foot control device.
• Optimal correction is between 30 and 40 degrees for most every patients we treat.
• Most low arch patients can start between 10-20 degrees, most high arches patients start between 20 and 30 degrees.
• Everyone eventually adjusts to their starting correction and can tell that they need more.

Clearly treatment that starts at a tolerable yet helpful correction and then progressively increases, as your body accepts and adjusts to the change, is significantly more successful than any one correction level treatment. 

Research with forefoot theta control by itself, rear-foot control by itself, and both forefoot and rear-foot control together in the form of a Total-Control device is now in its 7th year. Full Phasic Control appears to have value in many specific activities and many different patient types.
