\nThe A QUAD<\/span><\/strong> Foot-Type is commonly thought of as an over-supinated or severe Pes Cavus foot.\u00a0This condition, also known as a Torque Foot, occurs when a Uncompensated Rearfoot Varus is coupled with a Large Rigid Forefoot Valgus.<\/p>\n

We fondly refer to\u00a0the A QUAD<\/span><\/strong> Foot-Type as our “chandelier shakers”! Why? Because this foot-type loads heavily on the ground and never seems to pronate, leading to poor shock attenuation.<\/p>\n

The development of heel and lower back pain is common. The torque foot nature of this foot-type allows the valgus forefoot to offset the uncompensated inverted heel alignment that would normally lead to a toe out gait pattern (see C Quad foot-type). Overall, the foot progression angle for this person is such that the feet point relatively straight ahead during gait (no toe out) with a narrow base of support, much like a tight rope walker.<\/p>\n

All QUADRASTEP Orthotics are available in Regular and Narrow Widths, and with a topcover an an additional charge. For more information see nolaro24.com<\/span><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n
