2D foot diagnostics using a plantograph with podiatrist consultation at the EOSC Podology

Indications for foot diagnostics using a 2D aplantograph:

• Pain in the feet, legs or knees. Diagnostics allows you to identify possible violations in the structure of the foot, which can cause pain in the lower extremities, joints and lower back.
• Flat feet of stages I and II. Diagnostics helps to accurately determine the level of flat feet and increased load on individual areas of the foot, which allows you to take timely corrective measures.
• Foot deformities: ingrown toenails, spurs, corns, skin changes. Detection of deformations allows you to take timely measures to avoid complications such as inflammation, infections or pain.
• Uneven load on the feet. Diagnostics allows you to assess how correctly the body weight is distributed during walking and whether there is an overload on certain parts of the foot.
• Asymmetry of gait or balance problems. Balance or gait disorders can lead to problems with the back, joints and muscles.
• Determining the causes of these disorders helps to avoid serious diseases.
• Selection of individual orthopedic devices (insoles, orthopedic shoes). Diagnostics provides accurate information for the selection of individual insoles or orthopedic shoes, which will help reduce the load on the feet and prevent the development of diseases.

What is the benefit of foot diagnostics:

• Prevention and early detection of problems: diagnostics allows you to detect even minor disorders that can lead to serious problems in the future.
• This helps to take timely measures to prevent the development of diseases.
• Correction of flat feet and deformities: determining the causes of flat feet and deformities allows you to select individual corrective methods that reduce discomfort and pain.
• Improvement of gait and balance: thanks to diagnostics, you can identify problems with gait and balance, which can lead to pain in the joints, lower back or neck. This allows you to take timely corrective measures.
• Reducing the load on the joints and spine: correct weight distribution while walking helps reduce the load on the joints and spine, which prevents the development of osteochondrosis, arthritis and other diseases.
• Improving the quality of life: identifying problems at an early stage and treating them in a timely manner helps maintain activity and reduce pain, which ultimately improves the patient's quality of life.

During diagnostics on the 2D Vatech pax i3d digital plantograph, the following is evaluated:

• Foot lift height and its parameters.
• Point strengthening of support on the foot.
• Hyperkeratosis.
• Deformation of bones and feet in general.
• The shape and position of the fingers.
• The position of the calcaneus.

This device analyzes the sole using up to 50 techniques.
