Advanced Gait Analysis
Our practice utilizes the TOG GaitScan System, a cutting-edge, high-tech computerised tool for foot pressure assessment. This technology allows us to precisely analyze your standing, walking, and running patterns, helping us develop the most effective strategy for managing your specific problem.
Diagnosis and Prevention
We often use the GaitScan alongside a physical biomechanical assessment before prescribing custom foot orthoses or other treatments. For diabetic patients, this tool is vital for accurately predicting potential ulceration sites caused by peripheral neuropathy, enabling preventive treatment against these limb-threatening complications.
Custom Foot Orthoses Defined
Foot orthoses (or shoe orthotics) are not simple "arch supports," but personalized medical inserts designed to sit inside your shoes to either correct or accommodate foot and lower extremity conditions. They are highly effective for boosting foot performance and function during standing and activity, making them suitable for most sports and occupations.
Conditions Managed by Orthoses
Your podiatrist may recommend custom orthoses for various chronic conditions unresponsive to other therapies. These often include:
● Arthritis affecting the knee, foot, and ankle (Osteoarthritis and Rheumatoid Arthritis).
● Diabetic foot complications and heel pain.
● Running injuries like shin splints and stress fractures.
● Forefoot problems.
