Optogait Digital Gait Analysis System.
OptoGait is an innovative system for movement analysis and functional assessment of patients looking to remedy or legislate against lower limb complaints. The aim of the system is to objectify the evaluation of your gait, eliminating human error. The system is equipped with an array of optical sensors working at a frequency of 1000 Hz and having an accuracy of 100mm, detecting the relevant space and time parameters for gait, running or other test types. The objective measurement of such data, combined with an integrated video acquisition, allows monitoring of a patient’s condition on a constant basis, detecting problem areas, assessing mechanical inefficiencies and rapidly verifying the existence of asymmetries between the two legs.
It allows the Biomechanical Podiatrist to conduct slow motion analysis, pausing, splitting, angle finding, zooming in, digitising and synchronising two separate videos are amongst its qualities. Its function is to improve the accuracy of the orthotic prescription to you.
Delcam Iqube 3d Infrared Scanner.
The iQube uses a series of infrared beams to capture a perfect 3D impression of your feet.
The iQube is extremely fast and accurate. It is based on 3D scanning technology developed for the aerospace industry, which allows high quality, full colour, 3D images to be produced in approximately three seconds. The data collected is accurate to within 0.4mm. This ensures that the laboratory can produce a right-first-time orthotic that will put the patient on the recovery path as quickly as possible. It’s the only scanner available that is able to capture weight-on, weight-off and semi-weight bearing scans, essential for the accurate evaluation of foot posture.
As part of a package of treatment, a pair of orthotics should help to:
- Reduce pain
- Provide support
- Prevent or halt the development of foot deformity
- Provide better positioning
- Relieve pressure on a certain area of the foot
- Improve the overall biomechanical function of the foot
- Improve pelvic alignment
- Reduce lower limb torsion and knee stress
- This allows joints to be aligned correctly and promotes efficient transmission of biomechanical forces.
