New proposed LPPR nomenclature for foot orthosis and heel cup

The Medical Device and Health Technology Evaluation Committee confirmed the interest of foot orthosis and heel cup, despite a lack of literature on the subject. Expected benefit has been declared sufficient. HAS create two categories for an inscription under generic name:

• Tailor-made foot orthosis, both corrective and compensatory
• Heel cup (molding included)

CNEDIMTS has specified also use indications for these two categories.

• Foot orthosis:
  • Correct a dynamic or static imbalance of lower limbes, under 20 mm
  • Compensate foot morphological abnormalities
  • Relieve painful pressure of lower limbs
  • Prevent foot trophic or neurovascular disorders
• Heel cup:
  • Calcaneus malalignment caused by instability of joints for the upper ankle
