Diabetic Foot Care: How Advanced Footscan Technology Protects Your Health
Diabetic Foot Care: How Advanced Footscan Technology Protects Your Health
If you or your loved ones live with diabetes, you understand how it can impact your life, particularly your foot health. Foot complications affect up to 25% of people with diabetes, but with proper diabetic foot care and regular check-ups, they're preventable. This is where our team at Gait and Rehab in Knowle helps with our advanced 3D Footscan technology.
Taking Strides Towards Healthier Feet
Understanding your foot health is crucial for preventing diabetic foot complications like ulcerations. Our innovative Footscan technology provides detailed analysis of your foot's structure, function, and pressure points - acting as the ultimate detective to uncover potential issues before they become serious problems.
What is a 3D Footscan? Technology Explained
Our Footscanner is a high-tech diagnostic tool that provides precise, in-depth analysis of your feet in motion. The technology captures hundreds of frames per second, offering an unrivalled look at your unique walking and standing patterns.
This information helps our HCPC-registered podiatrists identify:
Unusual pressure areas
Structural irregularities
Balance issues that increase fall risk
Early signs of diabetic foot problems
Why Footscan Technology is Essential for Diabetic Foot Care
Diabetes complications often include:
Reduced blood flow to feet (peripheral arterial disease)
Nerve damage (diabetic neuropathy)
Loss of sensation that masks injuries
These conditions mean minor injuries can quickly escalate into serious diabetic foot ulcers. Our Footscan technology prevents this by:
✓ Identifying high-pressure areas before ulcers develop ✓ Detecting biomechanical issues early ✓ Enabling preventive diabetic foot care ✓ Guiding custom orthotic recommendations ✓ Informing personalised care plans
