Advanced Foot Scanning Services for Custom Insoles & Foot Care

The foot scan is a procedure done in podiatry clinics that has a lot of significance in today’s modern world of foot care because it provides valuable information needed for the accurate diagnosis and management of different foot pathologies. Podiatrists perform a comprehensive examination of the foot using 3D scanners and pressure plates to determine the foot morphology and provide a differential diagnosis for bunions, diabetic foot ulcers, plantar fasciitis among other ailments. For example, in case of a diabetic patient, a foot scan might show that the patient is quite likely to have a forefoot ulcer because the patient is unable to feel and there is too much pressure applied. With the scan data, custom orthotics, therapeutic footwear, or orthotic devices with off-loading properties can be recommended or designed. In podiatry, foot scans also assess the level of treatment and rehabilitation, for example, increased arch height after completing physical therapy. With the use of foot scans, the integration with electronic health records eliminates the need for redundant work capturing the required information and aids in care continuity.
