Is the metatarsal arch support insert for feedback into pronation supposed to go in the left or right shoe? I had put one in my left shoe and was wondering if this is correct? People tend to supinate on the right all the time in right stance but is the purpose of the arch pad in the left shoe to find left AF IR by pronating and rotating the hips to the left?
We typically place the pad in the right shoe to inhibit the right adductor. We also place the arch support in the right shoe to provide bio-feedback to the patient to actively come down on their right arch to shift them over to the left. We have placed them in both shoes before, but we always find that if we place one in the left we first place one in the right.
