Customizable Heel Lift

thingiverse

Heel lifts, an affordable yet non-customizable foot orthosis, help rectify leg length discrepancies alleviating issues such as lower back pain and improper gait. Michigan Tech's Open Sustainability Technology Research Group offers an open source library version that can be customized according to individual needs. If you already own a heel lift but want duplicates, simply measure it or gauge your leg length difference based on personal estimation. The advantage lies in the ability to print multiple versions and experiment until optimal comfort is achieved. Your feedback and suggestions for improvement are welcome, and merging this design with an open-source foot orthotic could be a great next step!
