Deist & Associates recently acquired a 2 metre RS Footscan system which helps with the treatment of foot, leg, knee and back problems. Athletes, diabetics, pregnant women and patients suffering from backache and flat feet can all benefit from this revolutionary system.
It provides live visual feedback during training, showing performance from various angles, comparing performances and live drawing.

“The RS Footscan is a pressure measurement system that combines biomechanics with computer technology to provide dynamic information.”
This info can then be used to diagnose the patient’s specific needs and to find the correct treatment. The system has following features:

• Assessing the efficiency of the orthotic
• Determining the degree or pronation or supination
• Identifying high-risk areas in the neuropathic foot
• Monitoring degenerative foot disorders
• Observing gait abnormalities
• Pre and post-surgical evaluations
• Regulating post-surgical weight bearing and pressure distribution
• Screening the diabetic foot and identifying areas of potential ulceration
  
  

RS Footscans takes up to 1000 recordings every 3 seconds giving the best specifications available in the world of dynamic pressure measurement systems. Custom made foot orthotics are then fabricated and fitted according to the specifications provided by the scan.
