Before choosing orthopedic shoes for diabetes, it is important to understand how the load is distributed over the foot and where the unloading zones are needed. Free computer diagnostics solves this problem and provides the doctor and the master with accurate data for an individual solution.
Where to get a diagnosis
- In the shops of the Rydni chain.
A free 3D foot scan is available for medical technicians. The procedure is fast, the result is immediately visible, then the specialist will coordinate the details of the future couple.
- If it is not possible to come, there is a remote format with Prostopoo foam box. The kit is delivered to any locality. You take the prints according to the instructions and send them back, after which the specialist contacts you for a consultation.
What is included in the process
In the shop
- checkout and free 3D scanning
- specialist consultation
- modeling of insoles and shoe solutions in CAD/CAM
- coordination of coverage and unloading areas
Remotely with a foam box
- ordering a set
- foot print according to the instructions and filling out the questionnaire
- return shipment
- coordination with a physical therapist
- manufacturing according to the received data
Why it's important for diabetes
- Comfort and safety. The diabetic foot is sensitive to pressure and friction, so precise support is needed without unnecessary load peaks.
- Individual settings. EVA of different stiffness is used. For people with diabetes, they usually choose a milder one - about 30 Sh. The specialist selects the option based on sensitivity and daily activity.
- Predictable result. CAD/CAM allows you to create two separate 3D models for the right and left foot and set the desired unloading zones.
What do you get based on the results of the diagnosis
- 3D model of the feet and recommendations on materials and coating
- the plan of unloading zones for your tasks
- individual insoles that will form the basis for a proper shoe fit
It is important to remember that the insole is modeled for the user's foot, not for a specific pair of shoes. This provides stable arch support and proper pressure distribution.
How to prepare for a visit or order a foam box
- Take the shoes you wear most often. This will help to adjust the thickness and coating correctly.
- Formulate complaints: when discomfort appears, where exactly it hurts, how long you stand or walk per day.
- Specify the coating and color requirements. This can be discussed at a consultation.
Short rules for further wear
- Wear insoles in shoes with a closed heel.
- Remove the manufacturer's regular insoles before installation.
- It is allowed to trim only the front for an accurate fit.
- Increase the wear time gradually during the first week.
- For care, wipe with a soft sponge with a light
