What is Foot Analysis?

Foot health refers to the anatomical and functional well-being of the feet, meaning they are healthy enough to perform daily activities without problems. Foot health not only affects the feet but also impacts the health of other joints and muscle groups such as the knees, hips, and spine. Factors like posture disorders, incorrect shoe choice, foot deformities, and chronic diseases can negatively affect foot health.

WHAT IS FOOT ANALYSIS?

Foot analysis is an examination process that evaluates a person's foot structure, foot pressure, and walking pattern. This analysis aims to determine how the feet contact the ground, how body weight is distributed, and to identify possible biomechanical imbalances. Foot analysis provides important information to maintain foot health and to prevent various orthopedic problems.

Types of Foot Analysis

Static Foot Analysis: An analysis where the feet are examined in a fixed position. Pressure points, bone structure, and overall foot anatomy are assessed during this analysis.
Dynamic Foot Analysis: Performed while the person is walking or running. It shows how foot movements, pressure, and gait patterns occur.
Computerized Foot Analysis: An analysis where foot pressure and contact are digitally measured using specialized software and platforms. This provides precise and detailed results.

Applications of Foot Analysis

Custom Insole Design: Forms the basis for making insoles tailored to the individual's needs.
Improving Sports Performance: Used to enhance athletes’ foot health and balance.
Detection of Foot Problems: Helps in early detection of issues such as flat feet, high arches, and pressure abnormalities.
Shoe Selection Guidance: Guides the selection of shoes suitable for the foot structure.
In conclusion, foot analysis plays an important role both in orthopedic treatment and prevention processes, as well as in improving quality of daily life.
