Podiatric analysis

Scan-based orthosis printed with lattice zones of different stiffness under the heel, arch, and metatarsal heads. From a podiatric perspective, the key question is fit between the device's clinical role (customized load distribution) and the patient's pathology, footwear, and adherence.

Limitations. Limited long-term comparative data.
