Enhance orthotic outcomes, increase patient satisfaction, and introduce new sales potential to your practice. The patented Cluffy Wedge® is a very effective method of treatment for biomechanical problems of the foot related to functional hallux limitus, first-ray insufficiency, and an unstable windlass mechanism.  These problems can be the primary source of mechanical dysfunction in many individuals.  If they are not the primary source of mechanical dysfunction, they are certainly a significant co-morbidity in many others with primary rearfoot pronation.  The windlass mechanism is a strong passive stabilizer of the foot structure and needs to work properly for correct foot function to occur.  If the windlass mechanism does not work correctly, the foot will be unstable at a time in the gait cycle when foot stability needs to be optimal in late midstance and active propulsion. These mechanical problems may commonly manifest as lesser metatarsal overload, heel pain, and achillodynia.  The Cluffy Wedge® is the first product of a line of biomechanical devices to improve foot function. Late midstance and active propulsion pronation remain difficult problems to treat, and the innovation of the Cluffy Wedge® provides a well-tolerated and inexpensive method of enhancing the control of the foot as provided by a shoe, insole, or custom Orthotic. It enhances the biomechanical control of these devices and consequently improves the overall comfort of the foot as the foot begins to function in a much more stable and closed packed position late in the stance phase of gait. This device has been extensively tested at the Foot and Ankle Clinic of Montana, in Great Falls, Montana, and Sports Biomechanics, Inc., East Lansing, Michigan, and has been well-tolerated in functional shoe gear.
