Indications for a Heel Wedge
Varus or Valgus Heel Wedge can help treat over pronation or supination of the subtalar joint. They a are a simple inexpensive medical device that is placed under the shoe's insole at the back of the shoe.
A varus or valgus heel wedges that can be easily fabricated from our adjustable heel lift, the Triple V Heel Lift are meant to decrease either supination or pronation of the subtalar joint. Improving the stabilization of the subtalar joint with a varus or valgus heel wedge can improve foot, ankle, knee, hip and lower back function. A heel wedge can improve an abnormal heel strike and decrease painful joint motion further up the kinetic chain.
Indications for a Varus Heel Wedge:
1. Excessive subtalar joint pronation (flatfoot, collapsing arch)
2. Medial ankle sprains
3. Shin splints
4. Medial knee syndromes
5. Plantar fasciitis
6. Posterior Tibial Tendon Dysfunction
Indications for a Valgus Heel Wedge:
1. Excessive subtalar joint supination
2. Lateral ankle sprains
3. Lateral knee syndromes
4. Peroneal tendonitis
Atlas Biomechanics manufacturers heel wedges in either rubber or cork here in the USA.

Adjustable Gel HammerToe Crest Buttress Pads To Relieve Hammertoe Pain
Adjustable gel hammertoe crest/buttress pads are an inexpensive, simple medical device to help raise and cushion contracted and crooked toes.
These are medical grade hammertoe Crest/Buttress Pads. They are the same Crest/Buttress pads as dispensed from Doctor's Offices.
Adjustable Gel HammerToe Crest Buttress Pads
- Adjustable toe loop for control fit and comfort
- 3 adjustable gel crest pads per pack.
- These hammertoe crest toe pads are made to protect hammertoes, help straighten hammertoes and corns.
- Our foot pads are produced in the USA of medical grade gel.
- Crest pads used to treat corns on feet.
Gel Crest/Buttress Pad splint will relieve pain from distal toe corns, hammertoes and digit trauma.
They are washable and re usable.
Helps lift and straighten crooked hammer toes.
Reduces pressure at tips and tops of contracted hammertoes.
Caution for use with diabetics and patients with poor circulation because they may over tighten the loop due to decreased sensation.
Center placed over affected area and pad surrounds sore area and off loads. Adjust strap over toe.
Gel pad creates a barrier between shoe and toe.
Choose Right or Left adjustable gel hammertoe crest pads.

Lower Extremity Amputation Prevention (LEAP) with Semmes Weinstein Monofilament Wire
Lower Extremity Amputation Prevention (LEAP) is a program designed to lower ulcer and amputations in diabetic patients.
One of the most important screens for diabetic patients is the loss of sensation in their feet (neuropathy). The Lower Extremity Amputation Prevention (LEAP) Foot Screen uses a Semmes Weinstein 5.07 monofilament wire to test for diabetic neuropathy. Monofilaments are the most effective method and least expensive testing for loss of protective sensation (LOPS) in diabetic patients. All physicians should be performing this foot screen on all their diabetic patients at least once per year.
Approved for single patient use, our monofilament test for diabetic neuropathy presents an easy, inexpensive test to predict a patient’s risk for developing LOPS. Screening a patient for LOPS using the Semmes Weinstein neuropathy skin test is simple and non-invasive for adults, children and seniors. Save money for your practice by ordering your diabetic foot neuropathy tests in bulk from Atlas Biomechanics.
Atlas Biomechanics' Semmes Weinstein Monofilaments 5.07 10g Neuropathy Diabetic Testing Kits come as 20 individual filaments. They are FDA approved at 10g of force and made in the USA.
How to Perform a Semmes Weinstein Neuropathy Skin Test
1. Have the patient in a sitting position with shoes and socks off.
2. Explain to the patient that you’re screening/testing for neuropathy (loss of skin nerve feeling).
3. Touch the Semmes-Weinstein nylon monofilament wire to the patient’s arm to show what the touch feels like.
4. Tell the patient to respond “Yes” each time he or she feels the pressure of the 5.07 monofilament wire on the foot during the exam.
5. Tell the patient to shut their eyes during the exam.
6. Hold the monofilament wire perpendicular to the patient’s foot. Press it against the foot, increasing the pressure until the monofilament bends into a C shape. (The patient should sense the monofilament by the time it bows.)
7. Hold the monofilament in place for about 1 second. Press the monofilament to the skin so it buckles at one of two times as you say “Time one” or “Time two.” Have the patient identify at which time he or she was touched. Randomize the sequence of applying the filament throughout the examination.
8. Locations for testing: On both feet, use the first, third, and fifth metatarsal heads and plantar surface of the distal hallux and third toe. Avoid callused areas.
9. Record response on foot screening form with “+” for Yes and “–” for No.
