Gait And Pressure Analysis
As a person walks across the Footmaxx proprietary sensor mat,960
electronic measurement points scan the foot in motion 30 times per
second to determine the exact pattern of weight distribution throughout
the stride. This information is displayed on the monitor as a graphic
two-dimensional or three-dimensional image. The entire scan process
takes only minutes.
The patient data is sent, via modem, to the Footmaxx diagnostic
and manufacturing facility. Once at the lab, the patient data is
analysed by Footmaxx diagnostic software. A Gait Analysis report
is prepared and the exact custom orthotic needed is specified.
Gait and Pressure Analysis Reports contain diagnostic statements
about the foot biomechanics of the patient based on the analysis
of 8 key landmark points which are isolated and tracked throughout
the stance phase. The 8-point graph, 2D and 3D images contain in
this report complement the diagnostic statement and make this report
a valuable part of the permanent patient record.
