The Context
An NHS clinic serving military personnel faced recurring complaints of foot and knee pain among soldiers engaged in high-impact training. Standard orthotics often wore out quickly or failed to provide adequate support during intense physical activity.
The Bespoke Solution
Enertor Medical collaborated with the clinic to develop durable bespoke orthotics specifically tailored for military use. Features included:
- Reinforced materials 'PX1' for longevity in extreme conditions
- Enhanced shock absorption to protect joints during running and load-bearing activities
- Custom arch support to address biomechanical variations among individuals
Outcomes
Soldiers reported decreased pain and improved endurance during training sessions. The clinic noted fewer injury-related downtime cases, reinforcing the importance of bespoke orthotics for high-demand professions.
