Choosing a Heel Lift

Heel lifts can be used for more than just correcting leg-length discrepancy. Used in rehabilitation, heel lifts raise the heel for lower-limb swing-through and improved gait. Used bilaterally, heel lifts can help relieve stretch and strain on the Achilles tendon and calf musculature in conditions such as Achilles tendonitis, plantar fasciitis, or heel spurs. The following are recommendations for matching the correct heel lift to the needs of your patients.

Leg-length correction

A measurable leg-length difference can have negative effects on the lower back, sacroiliac joint, hips, knees, lower leg, or feet, often a result of the body compensating for the leg-length difference. These effects are often further exacerbated during physical activities that involve running, where proper alignment and balance are critical to performance.
A relatively firm, incompressible wedge is recommended for everyday use. A shock-absorbing model will help improve patient comfort. For use during sports, a firm lift is required. The lift should not compress or cause additional foot motion in the shoe. Soft lifts are not recommended as they can easily result in loss of control and stability at the ankle, leading to sprains or falls.
