| 1 – Functional evaluation The functional evaluation is aimed at appraising the severity of your biomechanical condition and your functional limitations. The orthotist or prosthetist works in close collaboration with your doctor, together they work to guide you in selecting the best orthopedic device for your needs. This close collaboration will ensure you get the best results. During the last few years, orthotic technology and methods of evaluation have improved significantly, greatly advancing the field of orthotics. The orthotists and prosthetists at LABORATOIRE LANGELIER LANOUE can now literally “mould” to your needs and your personal activity profile, taking into account your work, leasure and athletic activities. They can offer ideal solutions that best fit your life situation. A proper foot device – well designed and constructed with care —constitutes your best step towards rehabilitation.
The orthotist-prosthetist takes the necessary measurements in order to adjust your orthopedic device perfectly. The degree of care taking in that step could make the whole difference, even the smallest detail is very important. When he fabricates a custom orthotic, the orthotist molds, with plaster strips, the part of the body that needs to pair up, and then forms a mould. He must reproduce exactly the plaster on that part of the body, which will allow to avoid injuries or useless frictions when wearing the device.
The LABORATOIRE LANGELIER-LANOUE orthotists-prosthetists are professionals who receive training on ongoing basis. They are knowledgable in the use of new materials and devices. Thus, they are perfectly equipped to recommend a number of solutions for each situation. After evaluating your physical condition and setting treatment objectives, the orthotist-prosthetist designs the device best suited to your needs, paying close attention to details. It’s the details that make the whole difference. To maximize orthopedic efficiency, he will use additional or “padded “elements to lighten the orthotic for better comfort and optimal use in everyday life.
There are a large number of devices on the market. The orthotist-prothetist must know the characteristics of each one to be able to use that knowledge in the laboratory. In more severe cases, we fabricate a custom “negative” of the measurement by creating a unique mould. This mould is then sent to our workshops with details of the fabrication and objectives to reach. It is important to be very meticulous at that stage. The workshop mechanic’s priority is to offer you the best biomechanical balance with the best possible comfort. Given the unpleasant circumstances you often face, we approach this task with the uttermost importance. Our workshops are next to the clinician’s office, this allows us to maintain a very close collaboration between orthotists-prosthetists and mechanics.

The file includes your identity, requests or prescriptions from health professionals, the reports they received, the results of the functional evaluation, the estimates, a detailed summary of products and services performed, the follow-up and recalls to health professionals. Afterwards, the orthotist sends a complete record to the doctor containing the details of your situation, indicating that the orthotic is well functioning and meets your expectations. In a section of your health record, the orthotist writes additional and pertinent information. Together, doctors and orthotists-prosthetists team up to bring you support and encouragement.
