An annual foot assessment is highly recommended for proper foot health.
Only after a complete and thorough assessment of the feet and lower limbs can the most effective treatment solutions be determined and orthotic devices be designed. Such assessments are best conducted by a practitioner who has extensive training and expertise, such as a Canadian Certified Pedorthist.
UNDERSTANDING DIAGNOSIS:
The pedorthist will assist the patient in understanding their medical condition and the potential causes, contributing factors, and the recommended treatments.
ASSESSMENT:
The main purpose of the assessment is to determine whether the medical condition with which the patient presents is related to poor foot structure and / or biomechanics. A thorough investigation includes:
- Weight Examination
- History
- Non Weight Bearing Examination
- Gait Analysis Evaluation
In a foot assessment, we gather patient history to identify patterns and expose factors that contribute to the patient’s medical condition.
We check symptoms, previous injuries, occupation, and other factors.
