Detailed description:
A small abnormality in foot function can have a large impact on joints higher up in the body. The average person takes 8, 000 to 10, 000 steps a day. That adds up to about 115, 000 miles in a lifetime or more than four times around the world. That is a lot of walking with ill-fitting shoes or painful feet!
What is GaitScan?
TOG Gaitscan is a computerised software system and pressure plate for assessing foot mechanics. Often, problems with your feet will present themselves as referred symptoms in your back, knees and neck.
How does it work?
Gaitscan assesses the forces present, and weight distribution, in your feet whilst both standing still and walking. As you stride across the pressure plate, 4096 tiny sensors scan the surface of the foot. The system simulataneously records and captures the relative pressure load of each area of the foot.
The results of your scan can be viewed in both 2D and 3D form, and assist us with your diagnosis and formulation of a tailored treatment plan.
If it is determined that you will benefit from orthotic therapy, the precise imprint of your feet is used to manufacture a custom made pair of orthotics. These comfortable insoles will reduce stress and strain on your body by realigning and stabilising the bones in your feet.
So why are GAIT™ ANALYSIS TOG orthotics better than any others?
TOG GaitScan™System is state of the art computerised foot scanning technology. Traditional methods for making orthotics are plaster of paris or foam impression of the foot when stationary.
