sorry if this has been discussd before.
I was in a bar with my wife on saturday when i overheard a conversation from the table next to me.. (happy it wasnt on scottish independance)
A rather large & overweight man was talking about his painfull feet. no matter what type of shoes he bought he could not get any pain relief.. One of his group said do you have a shoe insert, to which the man replied yes it was made for me but it doesnt work. He was wearing flip flops when i looked at his feet.
This then started a rather loud discussion between the group about how rubbish the foot specialist was that supplied them and how rubbish the foot orthoses obviously were..
Found it rather funny that not one of them mentioned his weight..
this got me thinking is there a weight limit for orthoses? if so does anyone know at what weight an orthotic device whether it be off the shelf or casted stops working.. would it depend on the design of the orthoses.
i have never had a patient in my clinic that (from the look of this guy) weighed more than 25 stone:eek:
Out of intrest, tried looking for journal articles but cant find any specific to weight limit. does anyone have any info on this.
Again If this has been discussed before i am sorry
thanx
