Vasyli Forefoot Posting
Forefoot Varus:
Firstly, measure the forefoot varus angle, i.e. where the plantar plane of the forefoot is inverted relative to the plantar plane of the rearfoot, when the subtalar joint is in neutral.
If the angle of the forefoot varus is 4 degrees, the forefoot would be posted at 4 degrees under the plantar metatarsal area with the thickest part of the wedge under the 1st metatarsal head.
Forefoot Valgus:
If the foot has a forefoot valgus abnormality, measure the angle i.e. where the plantar plane of the forefoot is everted relative to the plantar plane of the rearfoot (ground) when the subtalar joint is in neutral.
If the angle of forefoot valgus is 6 degrees, the forefoot should be posted at 6 degrees under the plantar metatarsal area with the thickest part of the wedge under the 5th metatarsal head.
IMPORTANT: Forefoot Wedging techniques as noted above are based on an 'Ideal Rearfoot' with no deformity.
