Case Study 1

Neurological disorder 

Compare the traditional with the new approach

63-year-old male
Left extremities partly paralysed after brain tumour removal
Unstable ankle despite metal calliper medial as seen on video

Traditional approach
Boots with metal lower leg caliper

Custom MGF with integrated AFO Video shows improved more stable walking pattern

These pictures compare the 2 types of footwear and orthotic appliance in a similar stage of the walking phase. 

The left picture shows the person using a traditional custom made surgical boot together with a metal calliper. 

Despite the metal calliper the foot and ankle twists with every step. 

The right is the boot from ShoeTech Pty. Ltd. You can see the foot and ankle is far more stable with our boots. 

There is no “twisting” in the ankle with our boots. We have reviewed this person over several years and the boot performs the same after using it for several years. However, some repair of worn heels and soles need to be done from time to time.
