Morton's Extension

Description 
A 3mm foam pad placed under the 1st metatarsal-phalangeal joint, from the distal end of the shell to the distal phalangeal joint. Designed to raise and slightly immobilize the great toe.
Uses
Designed for patients with a dorsiflexed first ray, turf toe, hallux rigidus or patients with a short 1st metatarsal (short 1st metatarsals are very rare and are not to be confused with long 2nd metatarsals).
Contraindication
Footwear with a narrow toe box.
Notes
Only available with a full length orthotic. Morton's Extension should usually be used in conjuction with a metatarsal pad.
