Denver, United States - November 22, 2017 /PressCable/ —

The Foot Mechanic has announced a revolutionary upgrade to the old way of prescribing and creating foot orthotics.

Custom Precision Foot Orthotics have multiple new features designed to make life easier for people of all ages with foot, ankle, hip, back problems.

The custom foot orthotic device is designed based on the size and shape of the foot, ones personal biomechanics, and most importantly to correct the client’s specific biomechanical problems. – The Foot Mechanic gathers multiple datapoints about the client through an Interview, Orthopedic Exam, Video Gait Analysis, and Dynamic Digital Force Plate Evaluation. This data is compiled and used to prescribe an orthotic that’s custom-mapped to the client’s foot, and includes biomechanical corrections that are specific to their client’s condition.

The 1st Step to the best custom orthotic encompasses a full manual orthopedic exam. – They assess arch, ligamentous, bone and joint integrities as well as how the foot affects the ankle, lower leg, knee, hip, low back and all of the musculature/tendons connected to them.

The 2nd Step utilizes their high-end biomechanics software package whereby they use a high definition video camera to take video clips of walking and running from both the front and back – They do this in order to get a complete understanding of how the patient’s foot affects the muscles and joints of their leg. They are able to break down this video into super slow-motion and analyze it frame by frame with the client while using a foot/leg bony model to demonstrate and illuminate how the visual movement abnormality is affecting their condition.

The 3rd Step is where they definitively answer the question of, “Are orthotics Needed?” In this evaluation, they employ the use of a digitizing medical grade force

A full list of improvements on custom foot orthotics can be found on the company website, http://www.thefootmechanic.com/.

Dr. Brett Purdom, PT, DPT, ATC, CSCS, Owner of the Foot Mechanic and Podiatrist Expert, had this to say: “The changes in this Custom Orthotics were bought about due to most generic orthotics relying on a single data point (a static imprint of your foot), and provide a one-size-fits or all (or at best, a one-size fits many) solution. While these devices may be better than doing nothing, they typically fall short with respect to providing the best possible solution to your problem. As part of an ongoing effort to improve the user experience for Custom Foot Orthotics, people can expect regular updates both now and in the future.”

He further continued:

“As most orthotic practitioners will make a plaster cast or foam box impression of your feet, we believe in analyzing motion. Although plaster casts and foam box impressions are a custom representation of your feet, the actual adjustment is left up to the practitioner’s “professional judgment” as to how the orthotic will be modified in order to “fix” the client’s problem(s). It has been said, “If all that that was ever done was hover around, one would never have a problem.” The previous two methods of capturing a custom mold of one’s feet are done in non-weight bearing. At The Foot Mechanic™, we perform a three-phased weight-bearing assessment which not only includes a videoed treadmill evaluation, but also a weight-bearing, medical grade 3-dimensional force plate assessment. With this force plate, hooked up to our computer, we are able to gather over 200 weight-bearing data points as you walk across with each foot. Putting a line through these data points allows us to get what we call, your “line-of-weight-transfer.” Comparing your transfer line to what we know as ideal, we are able to make a decision as to whether a custom orthotic from The Foot Mechanic™ can help mitigate your symptoms.”

The Foot Mechanic’s custom foot orthotics can help decrease pain and correct injuries that have affected one’s movement and quality of life. Foot orthotics can correct pain starting in the foot, ankle, hip, back and protect the body from overuse injuries. The Foot Mechanic firmly believes that the most crucial part of treatment lies in the ability to first understand the anatomy and physiology of the problem. Once they understand and diagnose the problem, they can proactively address the underlying cause by creating a custom foot orthotic for their client.

A few of The Foot Mechanic’s endorsements range from Jim Gillen, head athletic trainer for the Denver Nuggets, Miguel A. Rueda, head athletic trainer for the University of Colorado Buffaloes,Julie Campbell, director of sports medicine for the University of Denver Pioneers, to Aaron Leu, head athletic trainer for the University of Denver Pioneer Hockey Program to name just a few.
