ORTHOTIC DESIGN
STEP 1:
The Analysis
Using the latest technologies, we pair the expertise of a clinician with a 2D scanner and a dynamic pressure platform to form a complete assessment of your gait.
ASSESSMENT
The strength of our product begins with the mastery of the clinician. Sarah is a Certified Pedorthist and Certified Athletic Trainer who is skilled in prevention, evaluation, and rehabilitation of athletic injuries. She specializes in the fitting and fabrication of orthotics.
2D SCAN
We will take a measurement of your foot using a 2D scanner. This measurement will give us the exact dimensions of your foot. We will use this image in our insole design software to make a footbed that fits exactly to your foot.
DYNAMIC PRESSURE PLATFORM
As you walk across the dynamic pressure platform, our software will measure the amount of pressure under your foot during each phase of your gait. This data tells us where the highest areas of pressure under your foot are and at what phase in your gait cycle the pressure is occurring. This platform also shows us your center of gravity at any time and provides a clear gait line to assess.
STEP 2:
The Design
The Active-Soles footbed is 100% customized to your foot.
Our computer software allows us to create a footbed specifically designed for your foot. We start with a digital copy of your measurements and then construct an orthotic using our insole design software. We can make any adjustment at the click of a button, allowing us to match each contour of your foot.
STEP 3:
The Construction
After finalizing the digital design we mill and finish your custom footbed.
MILLING
Our 2D milling machine mills away material leaving exactly what we designed on the computer. This technology allows us to perfectly craft your custom footbed with no user error or subjectivity.
FABRICATION
We still use old-school craftsmanship to finish our custom footbeds! Using a grinding machine and polishing brush we complete the final phase of construction. Because the 2D milling is so precise it makes the craftsman's job much faster—all we have to do is polish up the existing template.
