ABSTRACT:
The invention is concerned with an orthotic fitting device and method. An envelope and an adjacent diverticulum are connected to one another and are filled with a known amount of a viscous fluid. The diverticulum has indicia on it capable of indicating what portion of the fluid is within the diverticulum. The envelope is fitted against a portion of a patient's body which is to be cushioned and the fluid adjusts between the envelope and the diverticulum to provide proper cushioning for the foot. Flow communication is stopped between the diverticulum and the envelope and the amount of fluid in the diverticulum is determined from the indicia. An orthotic device in the shape of the envelope is then formulated containing the amount of fluid which remained in the envelope of the fitting device.
