The purpose of the gait assessment using F-Scan System was to test and optimise the benefits of the orthotic device; and if this failed, determine if forefoot surgery was necessary and what effect this may have on forefoot pressures.<\/p><p>Previous devices included a casted \u00be Functional Foot Orthotic (FFO) and variations of a pre-fabricated orthoses with metatarsal bar were not as successful. As a result of the plantar pressure measurements, the orthotic devices utilised were modified to optimise pressure redistribution at the forefoot. This was achieved by adding a forefoot rocker to the orthoses.<\/p><p>The patient showed an immediate increase in comfort and improved gait symmetry; as well as at the initial follow-up visit. At pre-surgical follow-up after 3 months, pain scores reduced to 4\/10, so the patient opted not to have the surgery; therefore saving the trust a substantial cost. Follow-up plantar pressure scans were not needed due to good clinical response. In addition, the patient has taken the public health message on-board to reduce her foot pressure by losing body weight, which we think the visual feedback of the pressure assessment aided in.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-dbaf92c elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer\" data-id=\"dbaf92c\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"spacer.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer-inner\"><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-44c71e1 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"44c71e1\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Walking Plantar Pressure Measurement<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-b860a63 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"b860a63\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1536\" height=\"510\" src=\"https:\/\/bmec.asia\/my\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/orthotic3-augblog-banner.jpg.webp\" class=\"attachment-full size-full wp-image-7330\" alt=\"orthotic3-augblog-banner\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bmec.asia\/my\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/orthotic3-augblog-banner.jpg.webp 1536w, https:\/\/bmec.asia\/my\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/orthotic3-augblog-banner-300x100.jpg.webp 300w, https:\/\/bmec.asia\/my\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/orthotic3-augblog-banner-1024x340.jpg.webp 1024w, https:\/\/bmec.asia\/my\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/orthotic3-augblog-banner-768x255.jpg.webp 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1536px) 100vw, 1536px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-ebcead3 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"ebcead3\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Screenshot above shows peak pressure at the site of pain and pathology: Left 2nd metatarsal (met) head 815 KPa, Right 2nd met head 930 KPa, additionally there was little to no toe contact.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-b4153d8 elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer\" data-id=\"b4153d8\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"spacer.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer-inner\"><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-3ddadbb elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"3ddadbb\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Peak Pressure Comparison<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5bcbafc elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"5bcbafc\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1536\" height=\"510\" src=\"https:\/\/bmec.asia\/my\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/orthotic4-augblog-banner.jpg.webp\" class=\"attachment-full size-full wp-image-7331\" alt=\"orthotic4-augblog-banner\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bmec.asia\/my\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/orthotic4-augblog-banner.jpg.webp 1536w, https:\/\/bmec.asia\/my\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/orthotic4-augblog-banner-300x100.jpg.webp 300w, https:\/\/bmec.asia\/my\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/orthotic4-augblog-banner-1024x340.jpg.webp 1024w, https:\/\/bmec.asia\/my\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/orthotic4-augblog-banner-768x255.jpg.webp 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1536px) 100vw, 1536px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-d1944dc elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"d1944dc\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>The screenshot above displays pressure distribution in a trainer type shoe only &#8220;before&#8221;
