| A large amount of people often
suffer from foot and knee pains that are usually
accompanied with deformations in the lower limbs.
Every day activities are oftentimes at the root
of their problem. To remedy this situation, we
usually turn to foot orthotics , a much cheaper
alternative than surgical interventions. Ergomedic works in collaboration with
health specialists in order to find out the kind
of orthotics that should be prescribed. The
common method of using ink and plaster often has
more to do with art than science. However,
Ergomedic's technic allows for precise measuring
assisted by the help of pressure sensors. This
allows evaluation of the biomechanical aspects of
our patient's feet.
With the help of a computer and a graphic
interface, it is possible to visualize in real
time the foot's pressure distribution as well as
proceed with two or three dimensional shape
analysis by finite elements method calculation.
The data gathered can then be sent internally or
via internet to our manufacturing site. The
manufacturing process of the orthotics is
completely computer assisted. A numerically
controlled milling machine then creates the
orthotics on carefully chosen materials.
