It is a basic analysis performed on a mechanical platform with the person standing still.
Static foot analysis is a test to evaluate an individual's foot structure and foothold. This analysis helps determine an individual's foot health and needs, such as suitable shoes or special foot supports. Static foot analysis is usually performed by a specialist orthotics or podiatrist.
Static foot analysis may consist of the following steps:
1. Foot Examination: The specialist visually examines the foot structure of the individual. Features such as foot length, foot width, foot height and the shape of the toes are observed.
2. Evaluation of the Arch of the Foot: It is important to evaluate the arch of the foot (arc) in the foot analysis. The arch of the foot is a structure on the sole of the foot that helps the foot structure to provide balance and support. There are different types of foot arcs such as high spring, normal spring or low spring feet.
3. Pressure Distribution Measurement: Pressure distribution measurement is an analysis method that shows different regions of the pressure applied on the sole of the foot. This measurement helps to assess an individual's footfall and balance or load distribution of the foot structure. It is done using pressure distribution sensors or a special platform.
4. Gait Analysis: In addition to static foot analysis, gait analysis can also be performed. The individual's gait pattern, stride length, tread pattern and gait pattern are evaluated. This analysis evaluates the balance between both feet and the proper grounding of the feet during walking.
Based on the results of the static foot analysis, a qualified healthcare professional or orthotist recommends the selection of shoes that are appropriate for the individual, special foot supports (for example, insoles or custom footbeds), or other treatment modalities. This is important for improving foot health, reducing pain or preventing the risk of injury.
Remember, static foot analysis is a way to assess an individual's foot health. It is important to work with a qualified healthcare professional or orthotic specialist for an appropriate analysis.
