What are the key components of a CFts's treatment plan implementation?

The key components of a Certified Therapeutic Shoe Fitter's treatment plan implementation include measuring the patient for shoes and selecting appropriate materials. This step is crucial because accurate measurements ensure a proper fit, which is essential for comfort and to prevent foot complications, particularly for patients with diabetes or other conditions that affect foot health.

Selecting the right materials is also critical since different foot conditions may require specific features, such as extra cushioning or arch support. The combination of precise measurements and thoughtful material selection directly contributes to the efficacy of therapeutic footwear in alleviating discomfort and providing adequate protection for the patient's feet.

While testing shoe durability and fitting, assessing patient history, and discussing surgical options may be relevant in the broader context of foot health, they do not encompass the essential actions that a Certified Therapeutic Shoe Fitter must take to ensure that the shoes provided are tailored to meet the needs of each individual patient.
