GaitScan Analysis GaitScan is state of the art computer hardware and software that helps your chiropractor assess and analyze your feet.  This analysis combined with your chiropractors' experience and knowledge detects abnormal foot function which may be affecting your feet or other parts of your body.

 

How does GaitScan Work?

 

1. Scans the Foot

 

As you walk across the pressure plate, thousands of tiny sensors capture the distribution of pressure of your foot over time.

 

2. Maps Foot Pressure

 

From your step, the computer displays 2D and 3D visual representations of the pressure under your foot. You can see where you have too much or too little pressure.

 

3. Prints a Report

 

The information is then summarized in a report that can be printed for you and your chiropractor to see.  The report findings will help your practitioner evaluate your foot function and determine if the pain you are experiencing is related to faulty foot function.

 

4. Determine the need for Orthotic Therapy

 

The information from this report will assist your health care practitioner to determine you need orthotic therapy.

 

5. Data is sent to the Laboratory

 

When it is determined that you will benefit from orthotic therapy your information is then sent securely to The Orthotic Group laboratory.  From there your custom made orthotics are manufactured specifically for you and your feet.
