What is GaitScanTM
GaitScanTM is tool used by our physiotherapists to identify and detect any abnormal foot function. It analyses a patient’s biomechanics of their feet and creates clear, concise images that will determine the individual’s need for orthotics or not. By standing on the state of the art metal plate the shape of your foot is captured by over 4000 sensors and a super speed scan rate of up to 300 frames per second.
What are orthotics?
Orthotics, also known as orthoses are the correctional devices used to address and correct an individual’s foot and ankle problems without the need for surgery. These are custom to each person, as the biomechanics and need for them differs amongst people. They can resolve and aid your foot’s function to eliminate pain you once suffered. Orthotics change the pressure on certain parts of your feet and are custom made from the scans of your feet taken by the GaitScanTM
