Foot Orthoses

A functional Foot Orthosis is a device that is contoured to the entire foot and may be used to reduce abnormal motion or abnormal position of the foot. A functional foot orthosis may also used to control the abnormal motion or position of the lower extremity that is affected by the position or motion of the foot.

Description of Device

A custom foot orthosis can be made from an impression of your foot that captures the foot’s contour and alignment. Modifications may be made to correct any problematic positioning, and materials will be chosen based on the needs and symptoms of the patient.

Transition to Hanger

RE: Transition to Hanger Clinic

After 37 years in my beloved profession, it is time to close my clinical practice. This decision has been excruciating and I have held on for as long as I have because of you. I am honored that you have placed your trust in me for your care. I am inspired by your motivation and persistence, and I am honored to have been a part of your life. I could not have asked for a more fulfilling and rewarding career.

However, things change. The business climate has made it impossible for me as an owner of a small practice, to continue to provide the level of care that I pride myself on, and to provide you the care that you deserve.

Regardless, I am not retiring but moving on to broader horizons. In addition to consulting with Hanger Clinic, I will be working on new prosthetic materials and sensors to improve the comfort and fit of prosthetic devices. While I understand this work does not help you yet, I can only hope that by working at this level I will make your lives even easier and better in the future.

Marie, Brenda and I will be available at the same number (650) 570-5861 to help guide you, and to help you through these changes. My email is gary@berkeprosthetics.com.

The above information is applicable for all queries to Berke Prosthetic Consulting and Research LLC.

Please keep me up to date on your progress going forward… I would love to hear from you!

I am recommending that you transition your care to Hanger Clinic.

As a consultant to Hanger Clinic (HangerClinic.com), I can help to ensure the continuity of your care. I want to be a part of connecting you with the right clinician for your care moving forward.

Thank you for the opportunity to have served you. I hope you will join me in this transition, and I look forward to continuing your care as part of the Hanger Clinic family.

For assistance establishing care, please contact Hanger’s intake coordinator at: 877-496-7739.

Sincerely,
