Footwear Assessment
In making footwear assessments we look at your life style factors and goals, as well as looking closely at the biomechanics of your foot, which affects your shoe selection. The correct footwear keeps the foot secure and helps avoid injury. This is an important factor for all age groups.
Runners need to ensure their shoes are replaced regularly, sometimes as often as every few months. Depending on distances run and shoe type, important shock absorbing padding can wear thin and become ineffective.In the aged patient, we ensure your footwear is supportive, secure and comfortable, prevents falls and avoids foot injury. Correctly fitting footwear is essential in a diabetic to prevent pressure sores and infections.
