Comparing Negative Casting Techniques: Foam versus plaster of Paris Richard Berent, DPM, FACFAOM Introduction: This study was undertaken to determine if there was a difference in the results related clinical type of molding technique used negatively in the manufacture of functional foot orthoses. These practitioners are in favor of casting blocks Foam argue that technology is cleaner, faster, more efficient and equally reliable method to produce functional foot orthoses compared the technique of plaster of Paris. On the other hand, a number of practitioners have argued that the technique of the foam is less because the foam is incapable capture the shape of the foot with the subtalar joint neutral position position and the midtarsal joints leading to maximum pronation orthosis the lower leg, which will be less effective in reducing symptoms of patients. Materials and Methods: A total of 38 patients were enrolled in the study. All patients had symptoms associated with lower extremity lower extremity function abnormality as determined by assessing the march. At the time of the initial visit, each patient signed a consent form and completed the upper leaf cast by the semi-weight bearing foam block technique and the plaster in the supine position does not bear the weight of the method of Paris. The two sets of shots were been sent to a laboratory professional with a prescription orthotic shell filled with orthotics with an average amount of fill arc, the average depth of heel, the normal width of orthotics (at the border of the lateral fifth metatarsal and dichotomy of the tree the first metatarsal) and a thickness of polypropylene behaves in a semi-rigid behavior for the weight of said patient. Laboratory technician was instructed to randomly select one of two pairs of cylinders negative and keep track of which casts were used to blind the investigator principal. In this way, a double-blind study was therefore established that neither the PI nor the patient knew which casts were used to construct foot orthotics. Approximately 2-3 weeks after casting, the patient was given a pair of functional foot orthoses and asked to walk for a minimum of 10 minutes to assess the comfort level of the brace. Each participant was asked to use one of four descriptive terms (very comfortable, comfortable, somewhat uncomfortable or very uncomfortable) to describe the comfort level of 5 parts different on each foot orthosis corresponding to the area of the heel, medial arch, lateral arch, in the middle of the brace and the distal edge. Patients were then sent home with standard break in the way of foot orthoses and functional returned to the clinic at intervals 2 weeks and 4 weeks post-dispensal orthotics. At each follow-up visit, patients were asked to complete a data measuring the level of symptoms and the comfort level of the brace. The data were then compiled and saved in a spreadsheet format and completion study, the laboratory technician was contacted to identify patients belonged to group study, foam box or plaster of Paris casting technique. Results: Data were compiled and the two study groups separately plaster) to a difference in the ability of the orthosis to reduce the symptoms? 2. The negative mold technique (foam vs. plaster) make a difference in the comfort orthotic device feels for the patient? The data were analyzed in a variety of methods such as the average reduction pain, the Fisher exact test and Chi-square with T-tests. A simple comparison of the average reduction in pain after four weeks of treatment indicates Orthotics as plaster of Paris splints have declined by an average of 82.43% of pain compared to 61.14% reduction of pain with orthotics foam box gray, with a significance level of p
