RICHIE BRACE NOTE: If you have been directed to this page from a search engine, please click the following link to be redirected to the full website: Marathon Orthotics The Richie Brace ·The Richie Brace® was developed in 1995 by Douglas Richie D.P.M. and introduced to the podiatric market in 1996 after significant prototype testing and modification. ·Since its introduction, the Richie Brace® has been prescribed for over 14,000 patients with extremely favorable outcomes as reported by prescribing practitioners. ·The first true podiatric ankle foot orthosis, the Richie Brace® has revolutionized the orthotic industry in providing a new dimension of non-operative interventions for the most challenging pathologies affecting the lower extremity. ·The success of the Richie Brace® has been largely due to the fact that this appliance contains a balanced functional foot orthotic manufactured according to accepted podiatric biomechanical principles. ·In addition, the lower profile, sport brace design is far more appealing to patients than traditional posterior shell ankle foot orthoses. ·Finally, the casting procedure required of the prescribing practitioner is a simple modification of the traditional neutral suspension casting technique, already well known in the foot orthotic marketplace. ·Since its inception, the Richie Brace® has been marketed and distributed by custom podiatric orthotic laboratories. These laboratories serve as distributor partners and have been crucial to the ongoing success of the Richie Brace®. ·Partner laboratories provide vital client service in the form of education, cast and prescription evaluation as well as coding and reimbursement consultation. ·The podiatric laboratory distributor also will often provide custom foot orthotics to the same patient receiving a Richie Brace®. Therefore, each podiatric laboratory distributor is differentiated because of their unique foot orthotic business as well as their ability to provide the vital client service support for the Richie Brace®. Marathon Orthotics is a Richie Brace distributor.
