Gait Scan
What is GaitScan?
The GaitScan system is a computerized pressure
plate which measures the distribution of force
throughout a patient’s foot during each step.
This state of the art analysis tool is able to
produce objective detailed data that will aid in
the diagnosis of abnormal foot biomechanics.
How does GaitScan work?
1) Scan Foot
As a patient walk across the plate, thousands of
tiny sensors captures the amount of pressure
being distributed throughout the sole of their
foot over time.
2) Maps Foot Pressure
The computer displays 2D and 3D
representations of the pressure under the foot.
3) Produces a Report
The pressure analysis report gives valuable
information regarding how a foot is functioning
while in weight bearing mode
4) Determines need for Orthotic Therapy
This information will help to determine if a foot
is functioning in an inefficient manner and if
prescription orthotics can help to restore optimal
foot function
Features of GaitScan includes:
- The ability to annualize walking, running
and static Stance.
- Bilateral weight distribution.
- Compare feature (Compares patients
scans with an optimal foot).
- Indentifies High Pressure areas of the foot
and abnormal timing of a step.
