Initial Consultation with Dynamic Footscan and Gait Analysis:

Step

Before we begin, our expert clinicians will take a detailed medical history, followed by both observational and physical examination which may include movement analysis and other clinical tests to determine if you have any injuries, pain or dysfunction.

After this is complete, its time to scan your gait and biomechanics using the patented dynamic Footscan® technology! Depending on your needs, the Footscan® involves you walking, running or even squatting on a force plate which contains 12288 sensors and scanning at a rate of up to 200HZ. Using this amazing technology, we are able to dynamically measure your foot biomechanics, balance, pressure spread and walking allowing us to measure your gait accurately and professionally.

Step

The unique design of your 3D-printed orthotics is generated from our software, integrated with Footscan® technology and can be adapted to your specific needs or to the advice of your expert. You will receive a detailed report of your recommended prescription to keep and your records kept on file if you should choose to go ahead with your orthotics.

After receiving your report you are under no abligation to buy your orthotics. The prescription and report are yours to take home and use whenever you please.

Step

Fitting the orthotics will be done 2 weeks after your digital prescription is sent to our PHITS lab where a 3D printer then transforms your digital design into an ultralight custom orthotic. This appointment is included within the initial appointment cost but is an essential part of the process as your specialist clinician will confirm the fit of your truly bespoke orthotic fits your feet and shoes.

Step

Depending on your specific requirements and reasons for booking your initial assessment, you may also receive other modalities including manual therapy, an individualised, specific exercise program to follow and after care advice in order to optimise your recovery from injury or simply returning you to daily pain free function.

The Assessment Process Explained

Initial Consultation

Our expert clinicians will take a detailed medical and injury history, followed by a clinical examination to determine your strength and joint flexibility.

Footscan Analysis

You will then complete a footscan® assessment to analyse your standing posture, balance and gait to identify any asymmetries or abnormalities.

PHITS Insole Design

The clinician will talk through your footscan® analysis and suggest the most suitable treatment pathway. This might include the design of Phits orthotics.

3D Print Manufacturing

If prescribed, your Phits orthotics will be 3D printed to meet your exact specifications by using the dynamic data from your footscan® assessment.

Enjoy Your Next Steps

After a quality check, you will return to the clinic in a couple of weeks to fit your new orthotics, providing your body with the perfect balance with every step.

This video describes how Phits Insoles can be the direct translation of your dynamic gait cycle into the perfect 3D-printed bespoke foot orthotics using Footscan.

This video from George Cummins of the Royal College of Podiatry was part of the Summer Festival of Learning 2021 and explains the hype around dynamic 3D-printing.
