Same Day Customised Orthoses

What Are Orthoses?

Orthoses are personalised insoles that are inserted into your shoes to correct foot alignment and poor biomechanics. The aim of all orthotic podiatry therapy is to minimise or possibly stop foot and lower limb pain through correcting the function of the foot, as well as treating current issues or conditions.

They are designed to:

 

  • Reduce pain.
  • Increase comfort.
  • Improve how your foot functions.
  • Reduce injuries associated with poor foot biomechanics


Sidas Orthoses

 

The SIDAS custom technology enables you to have 100% customised insoles. These orthotic insoles are a flat insole that are used as a base before being heated and moulded to an impression taken of your feet. They adapt to the morphology of your feet to offer you optimal comfort.


SIDAS Orthoses have the benefit of being more easily transferred between a variety of shoes than traditional orthoses. Your Podiatrist will predict the life span of your SIDAS orthoses as it’s dependent on activity levels, physicality of work, footwear choices and style of gait. All orthotic patients will be placed on a 12 month recall list for a review of orthotics.

Biomechanical Assessment

What is Biomechanical Assessment?

Your treating Podiatrist will perform a biomechanical assessment as part of your orthotic prescription.

A Podiatric Biomechanical Assessment involves the analysis of the lower limbs, including the hips, legs, ankles, heels and feet, and incorporates analysis of movement, structural alignment and mechanics.

What Happens During a Biomechanical Assessment?

 

  • Assess the range of motion in all joints of the feet, and possibly the knees and hips, if clinically necessary.
  • Test your muscles, looking at strength, symmetry and range of motion.
  • Perform a postural assessment to assess any anomalies in the hip.
  • Measure any leg length differences.
  • Review your basic foot and ankle stance position.
  • Assess your gait to study the way you walk and the efficiency of your gait pattern.
  • Review your footwear history.
