Computerized Foot Scan
Truly computerized weight bearing, dynamic gait analysis
leading to a prescription foot orthotics is the most advanced system on the
market today.
Footmaxx semi-rigid prescription foot orthotics are
revolutionizing the way both clinicians and patients evaluate foot orthotics.
The
technology is available to take an accurate measurement of weight distribution
along the plantar surface of the foot over time while concurrently getting two
readings of the foot balanced in its exact subtalar neutral position. This is
done simply by walking a patient across a Footmaxx forceplate.
The
entire gait and pressure analysis test takes only minutes, and offers the most
consistent and accurate modality for manufacturing custom
orthotics.
In less
than two years, Footmax has become the largest supplier of orthotics with 29 of
30 Major League Baseball teams and 13 National Football League teams using the
product.
Orthotics are customized insoles worn in any type of shoe and they
correct the way a patient walks. If a patient is walking incorrectly, their
entire body can be out of alignment causing all types of problems including
foot, ankle, leg, hip, and lower back pain.
A 5-minute gait and pressure analysis test will tell you if you
are a candidate for orthotics. Orthotics are covered by most insurance plans
because insurance companies know the value of orthotic therapy in the prevention
and treatment of many conditions that can lend to short-term or even long-term
disability claims.
