December 28, 2013The Kinetic wedge is an extension to a foot orthotic that is patented by Howard Dananberg. The aim of this extension is to facilitate motion at the first metatarsophalangeal joint to treat functional hallux limitus. The Kinetic wedge hold the hallux in a dorsiflexed position and also elevates the lateral metatarsals. The effect of this is to plantarflex the first metatarsal head.
