**Retrocapsular Orthoses**
Stability Goal: Angled floor redistributes force vectors, increases propulsion time, and provides an antalgic effect.
**Subphalangeal Orthoses**
Aligned with the target, it increases support, stops rolling. Headlamp goal for Dynamo goal cushion, metatarsal, and diminishes impact angle.
**Hardness**
- Crosslinking Time: Maximum 30-60 minutes, decreased 12-24 hours, lasts 3-4 weeks (defined). The same values apply to a maximum duration of 20 minutes.
- Catalyst Quantity: Double the amount of catalyst for softer silicones increases the maximum, but the definition varies. Do not crosslink before.
- Type of Paste: Paste is less than the maximum duration, crosslinked slower. Half paste (slow catalyzation) lasts less than the maximum
