With all the functional prefabs out on the market, here is a quick primer on Prolab's choices. Firstly, all the devices are made of a semi-rigid polypropylene shell with 2 mm medial skive, 14 mm heel cup and 3 degrees valgus correction.
Below are the differences:
- P3 Low-Impact: Full length 1/8" plastazote and 1/6" poron topcover; 4/4 polypropylene RF post
- P3 Sport: Full length synthetic suede topcover padded with high-rebound EVA; 4/4 polypropylene RF post
- P3 Posted: no topcover; 4/4 polypropylene RF post
- P3 Posted TC: Full length tri-color EVA topcover; 4/4 polypropylene RF post
- P3 Unposted: no topcover; 0/0 spot grind (no postt)
- P3 Unposted TC: Full length tri-color EVA topcover; 0/0 spot grind (no post)

Re: P3 Functional Adult Prefabricated Orthotics
Does P3 sport always contain a rear foot post? If yes then why?

Re: P3 Functional Adult Prefabricated Orthotics
The P3 Sport does always have a rearfoot post. Because it is meant for the more active individual, the RF post will offer more control of pronation forces and stability for the rearfoot.
