X1 Blade with Reverse Morton's Extension - Ideal Applications


 A super light weight  (.07 oz.) and extremely thin (.04") energy storing orthotic with reverse Morton's extension. Created by Clyde Peach, CO (ABC Certified Orthotist - 1978) of Indiana Brace to treat patients with sesamoiditis or hallux limitus.

Ideal application

  Hallux Limitus - Clyde's X1's Blade with reverse Morton's extension reduces joint motion and off-loads the 1st ray reducing the jamming effect of functional hallux limitus. The X1 Blade's energy shell has multiple density zones so as  not to limit the entire foot, but adds an energy pop at toe off to help normalize assymetric gait.
  Sesamoiditis - Clyde's X1 Blade with reverse Morton's extension - the reverse Morton's extension off-loads the painful sesamoids while at the same time  stabilizing them. The X1 Blade's energy shell has multiple density zones so as not to limit the entire foot. The X1 Blade also adds an energy pop at toe off to help normalize assymetric gait.
