Advanced Technology Means less costly Orthotics

Our 3D orthotic devices are laser manufactuered and there are two benefits from using cutting edge technology over hand-made devices:

  • Exceptional accuracy to prescription: +/- 0.5mm (man made are subject to hand-eye error)
  • Far less labour costs (laboratory technicians are $40 an hour)

Due to reduced labour costs you will found our more accurate devices are $150 to $300 less than other prescribers. You may qualify for a GAP FREE orthotic pair.

If you are a referring practitioner or scientifically minded we at Adelaide Podiatry Centres have dug up a few studies which evaluated the patient satisfaction of orthotics in terms of their effectiveness and comfort:

  1. Walter JH, Ng G, Stoitz JJ: A patient satisfaction survey on prescription custom-molded foot orthoses. JAPMA, 94:363-367, 2004.

In a 2004 study of 275 patients that had custom foot orthoses for over a year, the majority of subjects obtained between 60-100% relief of symptoms with only 9% reporting no relief of symptoms.

  1. Moraros J, Hodge W: Orthotic survey: Preliminary results. JAPMA, 83:139-148, 1993

In a 1993 study, 83% of 520 patients were satisfied and 95% reported their problem had partially or completely resolved with orthoses.

  1. Donnatelli R, Hurlbert C, et al: Biomechanical foot orthotics: A retrospective study. J Ortho Sp Phys Ther, 10:205-212, 1988.

In a study of 81 patients, 91% were “satisfied with orthoses” and 52% “wouldn’t leave home without them”.

Please note these studies are over 10 years old and orthotic technology has changed and we at Adelaide Podiatry Centres have cutting edge technology.
