定制鞋垫
What are Foot Orthotics/Orthoses And Custom-Made Insoles? Orthotics, also known as custom-made insoles or shoe inserts, are designed to support, align, prevent, or correct deformities and improve foot function. Custom orthotics (orthoses) provide numerous benefits, including: Reducing pain or problems in the lower limb by offloading, correcting and/or supporting the foot. It is useful in conditions such as flat feet, bunions and clawed toes Improving balance, especially in children with flat feet Improving shoe fit and comfort Improving weight distribution and posture Improving chronic and acute sports injuries Eliminating low back pain originating from leg length inequalities Preventing future problems associated with lower limb abnormalities Custom made insoles can be either fully customised or prefabricated by podiatrists in Singapore. Depending on the materials used, custom orthotics are highly durable, lasting up to eight years. They are also transferable between different footwear for maximum convenience. Who Needs Foot Orthotics (Custom made Insoles)? Custom made insoles provide support for everything from walking pain-free to managing chronic pain, making them beneficial for many individuals in Singapore. They are especially helpful for those who are: Pronators or people whose arches are falling and whose ankles are rolling inwards. This condition is colloquially called “flat feet”. Supinators or people who have a very high arch, causing the foot to roll outwards. Diabetic Affected by Arthritis Afflicted by Charcot-Marie-Tooth (CMT) disease Injured from sports or exercise. People with the above-mentioned conditions are encouraged to consult a podiatrist for a proper assessment to ensure they receive the right support for their foot structure before purchasing specialised shoes or custom-made insoles. How Do Foot Orthotics (Custom Insoles) Work? Unlike generic arch supports, custom insoles are designed to realign foot structure and reduce overpronation, rather than simply elevating the arch. A well-designed insole should: Support the heel with a deep heel cup for improved stability. Apply gentle corrective forces to enhance foot posture. Reduce stress on joints, ligaments, and muscles. Improve weight distribution to alleviate knee, hip, and lower back pain. At Physio & Sole Clinic, our podiatrists ensure that each pair of custom insoles is tailored to your unique foot structure, providing optimal comfort, support, and long-term benefits. How Can Our Podiatrist Help? Accurately prescribed foot orthotics are comfortable, functional, and essential to daily activities. Custom-made insoles, tailored to a patient’s foot type, weight, sport, and footwear, offer superior control and comfort compared to standard prescriptions. At Physio & Sole Clinic, our podiatrists use state-of-the-art 3D scanners to capture precise foot profiles, ensuring that your custom-made insoles fit perfectly. Whether you need custom insoles for flat feet, heel pain, or sports injuries, our podiatrists will provide expertly designed orthotics to support and align your feet effectively.

Early detection and intervention prevent potential complications like misalignments, gait issues, and chronic pain, ensuring healthy growth and mobility as your child matures. What Does Paediatric Feet Assessment Involve? Our comprehensive assessment includes: Limb length measurements. Joint and muscle strength evaluations. Non-weight-bearing and weight-bearing assessments. Visual and video gait analysis. Walking and/or running gait analysis. Assessment of activity-specific movements. Developmental milestone evaluations. Common Paediatric Foot Conditions Gait Abnormalities: In-toeing, out-toeing, and flat feet. Sports Injuries: Stress fractures, shin splints, and Sever’s Disease. Congenital Conditions: Clubfoot, metatarsus adductus, and bowlegs. Nail and Skin Issues: Ingrown toenails, plantar warts, and blisters. Other Concerns: Achilles tendonitis, knock knees, and high-arched feet. When Should a Child See a Podiatrist? Bring your child for an assessment if: They frequently complain of pain or discomfort during walking or play. They trip or fall often. They avoid physical activities or ask to be carried frequently. You notice visible gait abnormalities, like in-toeing or out-toeing. There is a family history of foot conditions or delays in developmental milestones.

What Is Biomechanical Gait Analysis? Biomechanical gait analysis is the scientific evaluation of your walking or running pattern to identify abnormalities and assess the biomechanics of your lower limbs. This analysis helps podiatrists understand how your feet, joints, and muscles function during motion and identify any issues that may lead to discomfort, injury, or reduced performance. Why Is Biomechanical Gait Analysis Important? Detects Biomechanical Issues: Identifies abnormalities like overpronation, supination, or uneven weight distribution that may cause pain or injury. Prevents Injuries: Early detection and correction of faulty movement patterns reduce the risk of repetitive strain injuries. Optimises Performance: Enhances walking and running efficiency, particularly for athletes, by improving gait mechanics. Supports Recovery: Tailors rehabilitation programs to address specific gait-related issues and aid recovery from injuries. Personalised Solutions: Guides podiatrists in recommending suitable footwear, orthotics, or exercises for optimal support and performance. What Does Biomechanical Gait Analysis Involve? Initial Assessment: Evaluation of your posture, foot structure, and movement patterns. Techniques Used: Visual and Video Analysis: Observing your walking or running motion for visible abnormalities. Pressure Plate Testing: Mapping pressure distribution and identifying imbalances. 3D Motion Tracking: Detailed measurement of joint movements and angles for precise diagnostics. Treadmill Analysis: Dynamic assessment of your gait during walking or running. Areas of Focus: Limb length and joint flexibility. Standing posture and weight-bearing patterns. Movement efficiency and alignment during motion. Common Conditions Linked to Abnormal Gait Bunions, flat feet, and heel pain. Forefoot pain and corns or calluses. Shin splints and ankle sprains. Hip, knee, or back pain caused by compensatory movements. Medial tibial stress syndrome and other sports-related injuries. Benefits of Biomechanical Gait Analysis Improved Movement Efficiency: Enhances biomechanics for a more comfortable and natural gait. Injury Prevention: Early detection of gait abnormalities reduces the likelihood of chronic injuries. Pain Relief: Corrects movement patterns to alleviate pain caused by poor gait mechanics. Athletic Performance: Boosts performance by ensuring efficient energy transfer and reducing fatigue. Long-Term Health: Prevents future complications and supports overall musculoskeletal health.
