The Process

1.			2.			3.
Patient presents to clinic for biomechanical assessment, gait analysis and posture diagnosis.			Weight bearing and non-weight bearing assessments are carried out at initial consultation, taking into account consideration of the foot posture, muscle balance, internal/external rotation of leg, pelvic orientation and leg length discrepencies.
4.			5.
MOVE MOUSE OVER IMAGE TO SEE BEFORE & AFTER. The angle and base of gait is determined and the patient stands uncorrected out the FAS. Subtanlar neutral, or the most biomechanically efficient position for the patient is determined. (image 5.) The feet are cast in the corrected position.
7.						8.
The negative casts are poured and the orthotic paramaters are marked on the positive casts.						The orthotic is made from the positive molds, replicating the same position obtained on The Foot Alignment System.
9.			10.			11.
Angled view of the orthotic on the positive & negative cast.			Example of perfect fit & alignment of Sports Orthotic on positive cast.			Rearview of negative & positive casts showing standard & sports orthotics.

MOVE MOUSE OVER IMAGES TO SEE BEFORE & AFTER Patient is fitted with the orthotic, correct alignment while standing is achieved.
