Plantography (2D Foot Diagnostics) at the EOSC Podiatry Center in the Varshavsky

Indications for foot diagnostics on a 2D aplantograph:

• Pain in the feet, legs or knees. Diagnostics allows us to identify possible disorders in the structure of the foot, which can be the cause of pain in the lower limbs, joints and lower back.
• Flatfoot stage I and II. Diagnostics helps to accurately determine the level of flatfoot and increased load on individual areas of the foot, which allows timely corrective measures to be taken.
• Foot deformities: ingrown nails, spurs, calluses, skin changes. Detecting deformities allows you to take timely measures to avoid complications such as inflammation, infection 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.
• Gait asymmetry or balance problems. Poor balance or gait can lead to back, joint, and muscle problems.
• Determining the causes of these disorders helps to avoid serious diseases.
• Selection of individual orthopedic aids (insoles, orthopedic shoes). Diagnostics provides accurate information for selecting individual insoles or orthopedic shoes, which will help reduce the load on the feet and prevent the development of diseases.

What are the benefits of foot diagnostics:

• Prevention and early detection of problems: diagnostics allows us to detect even minor disorders that may 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.
• Improved gait and balance: Diagnostics can identify gait and balance problems that may lead to joint, lower back or neck pain, allowing timely corrective action.
• Reduced load on joints and spine: correct weight distribution while walking helps reduce the load on joints and spine, which prevents the development of osteochondrosis, arthritis and other diseases.
• Improved quality of life: Early detection of problems and timely treatment helps maintain activity and reduce pain levels, which ultimately improves the patient's quality of life.

When diagnosing on the 2D digital plantograph “Vatech pax i3d”, the following is assessed:

• The height of the foot rise and its parameters.
• Point reinforcement of support on the foot.
• Hyperkeratosis.
• Deformation of the bones and the foot as a whole.
• Shape and position of fingers.
• Position of the heel bone.

This device analyzes the sole using up to 50 methods.
