This
is an actual computer test of a runner taken at
one of our marathon expos, shown at about 1/30th
the normal speed. It demonstrates the comparison
of motion of the foot [this foot belongs to a high
arched supinator] as it steps across a pressure
plate designed to capture the forces generated,
first in the barefoot mode, the same foot with
the individuals own "traditional" orthotic
and lastly that foot wearing a prescriptive silicone
dynamic orthotic.
Every
foot has a certain amount of imbalance to it (seen
in the variety of pressures designated as colors,
red is high, blue is low). The intent of any proper
fitting orthotic is to reduce those pressures by
spreading it out and making more of the foot carry
all its weight.
With
the Silicone Dynamic Orthotic, the foot is in its
most efficient
alignment (optimal position). Balance is regained
throughout the entire lower
extremity, reversing years of accumulated inflammation
and pain in knees, hips
and low back.
