Custom Orthotics Using GaitScan ™ Technology
- You might be surprised at the direct impact your feet can have on the rest of your body. Like the foundation of a house, your feet support the weight of everything above them.
- When a small problem develops in your feet, a subtle change in the way you walk can cause a chain reaction that alters your posture and movement mechanics.
- Physio Performance GaitScan assessment technology allows your physio to closely analyse your foot mechanics.
Benefits of GaitScan
- Gaitscan is an ultra-scientific state of the art computer software programme. GaitScan has an industry high 4096 sensors and scans at an industry high 300Hz (scans per second) compared to the human eye at approximately 15Hz.
- GaitScan records the timing sequences as you walk or run across a force plate and it then produces a report and 3D image of the pressure distribution under your foot. This level of analysis is impossible to detect with the naked eye.
Why Invest in Custom Orthotics?
- Custom made orthotics adjust your foot mechanics to improve the way you move.
- They help re-balance your feet.
- They reduce pain and discomfort by restoring and enhancing your body’s natural movements.
- Detecting and correcting these abnormalities could be the key to making you pain free.
We use state-of-the-art GaitScan™ Technology. This advanced system allows our physiotherapists to assess and analyze your foot mechanics with precision to create the perfect orthotic for you.
Your feet are like the foundation of a house; they support the weight of everything above them. If the foundation is unstable, it can affect your entire body’s alignment.
Yes. A small problem in your feet can lead to a subtle change in how you walk. This often triggers a chain reaction, altering your posture and movement mechanics, which can cause pain in your knees, hips, or back.
A GaitScan™ assessment is a diagnostic tool used by our team. It allows your physio to closely analyze your foot mechanics while you stand and walk, identifying issues that the naked eye might miss.
Even if your feet don’t hurt, they might be contributing to other issues. An analysis helps identify if your movement mechanics are compromised, ensuring we treat the root cause of your pain.
You can get high-quality custom orthotics at Physio Performance, located in Donore Business Park, Unit 18, Drogheda, Co. Louth.
The assessment is performed by a qualified physiotherapist at our clinic. They interpret the data to determine if custom orthotics are the right solution for your specific needs.
By correcting the “foundation” (your feet), orthotics help stop the negative chain reaction that leads to poor posture. They restore proper alignment and balance to your body.
No, the assessment is non-invasive and pain-free. It simply involves walking across a pressure plate that captures data about how your feet function.
