The Challenge
An 80-year-old patient with fallen arches and generalised foot pain sought treatment at a podiatry clinic. Off-the-shelf solutions failed to provide sufficient support for their declining foot structure.
The Bespoke Approach
The clinic partnered with Enertor Medical to create orthotics tailored to the patient’s condition. Using computer-aided design (CAD) technology, we manufactured orthotics with:
- Superior arch support to restore alignment
- Added cushioning to alleviate discomfort during walking
- Lightweight materials for ease of use
Results
The patient experienced significant improvement in walking ability and reduced fatigue, allowing them to maintain their independence. Clinics working with older patients can rely on bespoke orthotics for effective, patient-centred care.
