As we start the New Year, it’s a great time to focus on your health, especially if you have diabetes. At The Orthotics Clinic, we want to help you take care of your feet with our advanced gait and motion analysis technology.
Why Gait Analysis is Important for Diabetic Feet ?
Diabetes can change the way you walk, which might make your feet more vulnerable to problems. Some common changes include:
- Walking more slowly
- Having a wider stance
- Spending more time with both feet on the ground
- These changes, along with reduced feeling in your feet and poor blood circulation, can increase the risk of foot injuries and ulcers.
80% of foot amputations could be avoided with better care!
- Walking more slowly
- Having a wider stance
- Spending more time with both feet on the ground
- These changes, along with reduced feeling in your feet and poor blood circulation, can increase the risk of foot injuries and ulcers.
"The majority o f these major amputations are preventable, but many people living with diabetes are struggling to access the care they need."
How Our Footscan Technology Can Help ?
Our Footscan system uses thousands of tiny sensors to track how you walk. This technology allows us to:
- See where pressure builds up on your feet
- Understand your balance and movement
- Spot any walking issues that might not be obvious
Personalised Care Just for You
With the information we gather from your Footscan analysis, we can:
- Create custom orthotics (special insoles) that help distribute pressure evenly across your feet.
- Suggest exercises that can improve your walking and balance.
- Recommend the right shoes to keep you comfortable and safe.
