Computerized Custom Orthotics

In the past decade or so, a new science called Biomechanics has made a tremendous contribution to the various treatments that podiatrists could offer their patients. By applying these principles to the human foot, we are now able to treat many foot problems non-surgically by fabricating a pair of Custom Foot Orthotic Devices which are worn in the shoes and can be changed from shoe to shoe.

In the past, impressions for custom foot orthotic devices were taken either by wrapping plaster around the feet, or having the patient step into some impression foam. The problem with doing this is that neither of these capture the foot while the patient is walking.

Most patients walk out of the office after this outpatient surgery. A new technology introduced into the United States in 1997 allows the patient to walk over a computerized gait pressure plate, making a 3-dimensional image of the foot in a dynamic rather than a static manner. This image can then be sent via computer modem directly into the orthotic laboratory. Not only can a computerized gait analysis report then be ordered, but accuracy in fabrication is increased, while producion time is decreased.

Some indications for Custom Foot Orthotic Devices which can be make for adults and children are;

Many different types of Custom Orthotic Foot Devices are now available i.e., some for specific sports and athletics, some especially for women’s sandals and high-heeled shoes, ect.

Recently, the Orthotic Group Laboratories introduced Custom-fabricated Orthotic Sandals, clogs, slides for both men and women to their product line. This development, now available from The Center for Advanced Foot and Ankle Surgery, allows the patient to benefit from orthotic corrections while wearing comfortable, fashionable open sandals.
