Pressure does not disappear. It is redistributed.

A 2026 review found that interventions for flat feet affected the heel, midfoot, forefoot, and toes differently. Pressure could fall in one area while increasing in another.

That is why a lower reading in one region cannot describe the whole result.

Amfit gives providers control from digital contact capture through region-specific orthotic design. The provider still determines where support or relief is needed and what the finished design is intended to accomplish.

The meaningful question is not simply whether pressure decreased. It is where the load moved and whether that change serves the patient.

Pes planus involves the collapse of the medial longitudinal arch, altering gait and plantar pressure and leading to pain and injury. This review aimed to evaluate the effects of conservative interventions on plantar pressure in flatfoot patients. Four databases were searched from inception to 20 Feb...

A digital orthotic design can become physical in more than one way.

Amfit offers 3D-printed nylon as one fabrication option for approved designs. Clinics can use the process without purchasing or operating additive-manufacturing equipment in the practice.

The patient-specific design stays at the center. The method used to produce it can change with the case.

The Amfit experience is expanding beyond the orthotic.
Surefoot Shoes Powered by Amfit connect custom orthotic care with footwear designed with the finished device in mind.
It gives providers another way to support the complete patient experience, from the initial foot capture to the shoes the patient will wear in daily life.
From Scan to Step.

Foam impressions may already be a familiar part of the clinic’s workflow. Sending the case forward should be just as straightforward.
With the Amfit Scan App, providers can scan the foam impression and submit a digital case for Amfit Central Fabrication, without adding a dedicated foam scanner or shipping the physical foam box.
The provider maintains control over the patient assessment and impression. Amfit completes the fabrication based on the confirmed case information.
It is a simpler connection between the capture method the clinic already uses and the custom orthotic it needs produced.

The strongest measure of an orthotic system is how it performs in the hands of the people using it every day.
Thank you to the providers who continue to make Amfit part of their work.

A returning patient does not always mean starting from the beginning.
With a digital case record, providers can review the patient’s previous capture and orthotic design before deciding what comes next.
The existing information may provide a useful reference when another pair is needed or when the patient’s needs have changed. The provider can determine whether the design is still appropriate, requires revision, or should begin with a new capture.
Digital records preserve more than a foot shape. They give the provider a place to continue the case.

Receiving a precise custom orthotic should not be followed by the frustration of discovering that it does not fit properly inside the patient’s shoes.
Depth, internal volume, toe-box space, heel structure, and removable insoles all affect how the foot and orthotic fit together.
Considering those details earlier can help reduce avoidable adjustments and create a more complete fitting experience.
The right footwear gives the custom orthotic the space it needs to fit comfortably and function as intended.

What could approximately 20 minutes change during an orthotic appointment?
With an integrated Amfit in-house system, providers can capture the foot, review the design, and mill a custom orthotic without sending the case outside the practice.
That can shorten the time between assessment and personalized support, and create an opportunity to evaluate the result while the patient is still in the clinic.
A shorter workflow. A faster path to feeling the difference.

A custom orthotic is defined by more than its shape.
Soft, medium, firm, and dual-density constructions respond differently beneath the foot. The appropriate choice depends on what the finished device needs to accommodate, support, and withstand during daily use.
Shape defines the form. Material changes the response.

Before an orthotic enters the mill, its digital design can still be reviewed.
Correct & Confirm™ allows providers to assess arch contour, heel-cup depth, posting, accommodations, dimensions, and footwear fit before fabrication begins.
That creates an important checkpoint between capturing the foot and producing the finished device.
Review the design first. Then send it to production.
