Orthotics in detail

Initial assessment.

What's involved in issuing a pair of orthotics:

1) Biomechanical Assessment

Computerised Gait Assessment - the way we walk is utilised to assess the foot and leg as a dynamic structure.

2) Casting feet

A plaster cast of the feet is produced to obtain an exact impression of the foot. These provide moulds from which the orthotics are fabricated. This is a process that ensures the most accurate prescription of orthotics.

3) Orthotic Issue

The orthotics are issued with full guidelines on what to expect during the first week and the life of the orthotics

4) Evaluation

Your feet are evaluated one week post issue to ensure you are comfortable with the devices, they are performing the function they were designed to and to discuss any issues that have arisen since the issue.
