The Metascan diagnostic system is simple, innovative, high tech, user-friendly and grounded in well-researched principles. It provides an efficient, highly accurate and scientific means of patient assessment. The proprietary software is unmatched in its clinical diagnostic capabilities and interactive patient education.

Metascan V5 software consists of dynamic, static and postural visual analysis capabilities. The software allows for comparison of scans, pre and post diagnosis and therapy in the various applications.

Our Gaitscan dynamic display captures bilateral plantar pressure during the stance phase of gait. Gait observations show each of the 8 key points relative to pressure and time in a colour corresponding to the 2D and 3D composite image and displays gait analysis data. The Gaitscan diagnostics translates the digital information along with the clinician information into a prescription for custom orthotics.

Static scans capture bilateral plantar pressure distribution. The scans can identify muscle/skeletal anomalies such as leg length discrepancies. This can also be used to assess the efficacy of orthotics, lifts or postings using comparison side by side scans.

The Gaitscan 8-Point Gait and Pressure Analysis Report provides the practitioner with a unique dynamic analysis tool for the diagnosis and treatment of the aberrant foot function. Using the same 8-point analysis gives specific information on the distribution and timings of pressures through the different areas of the foot and compares them to normal.

The Gaitscan software analyzes the frame-by-frame distribution of plantar pressures throughout each individual foot. It uses the number and distribution of data points, as well as the magnitude and temporal patterns of the pressure points to calculate a set of key parameters. The overall aim of the orthotic therapy is to normalize the biomechanical patterns of the feet. This is one of the parameters that our office uses to determine orthotic module shape.
