Biomechanics is the study of the mechanical and physical laws determining how our body moves and functions. Problems can arise if the mechanical relationship between the foot, ankle, knee, hip and lower back is incorrect. This includes both bony alignment and muscle function. These biomechanical anomalies can be rectified once identified, and in some cases, an orthotic device is required to achieve this goal. Sometimes all that is needed is a simple insole which may require modification. In other circumstances, a specific custom prescribed and manufactured orthotic is the treatment of choice. The device chosen is determined by the patient's biomechanical fault and individual needs. Various materials and styles are used to best suit the condition treated. An orthotic prescription follows careful assessment and impression or computer scan of the foot in a specific position as determined by podiatrists at CentrePod Podiatry.
