Frame Material Rigidity Guide
*CLINICAL PEARL
The higher the shape of the arch the more rigid the material becomes, e.g. a flat foot shape with 3mm vacuum formed polypro frame will have a less rigid property than a high arched foot with the same 3mm vacuum formed polypro frame.
Consider selecting a less rigid frame option for cavus feet and more rigid frame for flat feet.
