*permission to share* This patient turns 90 years young this year! - and he still works! 😳 but he tells me his feet ‘are killing’ him. On assessment he has atrophy of the plantar metatarsal fat pads. Pressure plate analysis is perfect for this sort of problem and means I should be able to design an orthoses prescription better than those he’s tried previously and modified himself. I need to try to replace the fat he’s literally ran, ski’d and walked off over the years without compromising the room in his shoes. I think we’ll have at least another 10 years out of those feet yet 🤩
