How does it work?

It’s quick, easy and painless!!
A non-invasive test is performed simply by trimming an ultra-thin sensor to your shoe size and inserting the sensor into your shoe.
Then you take three to six steps and plantar pressure is displayed and recorded in real time on a computer.

Who benefits from its use?

	Patients afflicted with Diabetes, suffering from poor sensation and foot ulceration.

	Individuals with weak circulation and foot or toe contractures.

	Rheumatoidal or osteoarthritic patients with alterations in joint/integrity or functions that alter the weight-bearing surface of the foot.

	Runners or joggers who experience shin splints, stress fractures, ligament pain and other foot, ankle and knee concers.

	Patients with neuromuscular disorders such as cerebral palsy, which lead to altered patterns of gait.

What does F Scan do?

	It combines biomechanics with computer technology to revolutionize the diagnostic process

	It is used to determine the dynamic interaction of normal footwear with or without orthoses

	It is used to review gait abnormalities

	It helps evaluate the potential value of or the results of surgery.

	It enhances our ability to obtain dynamic functional information on the high-risk foot.
