<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="color: red;"><strong>A few of the error points. .</strong> .</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">When orthotics are manufactured from plaster casts and foam boxes, the technician has no idea as to how the foot functions. The technician is relying on the prescription by the physician or the technician for the manufacturing of the custom device, however <strong>critical elements relative to static and dynamic biomechanical conditions are completely unknown to the technician at the time of manufacturing.</strong></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;"><strong>Some of these error point include;</strong></span><br />
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Proper alignment of the rear foot and midfoot joints by palpation</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Applying adequate thickness of plaster on the feet. If the plaster is not thick enough it will create distortion.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Making sure that the plaster has dried properly. If the Plaster is not completely dried it can become distorted leading to error.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Making sure that the patient has not moved their feet after the slipper cast is been applied.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Making sure that the technician or physician properly removes the cast without distorting the neutral position of the foot. Improper removal of the slipper cast can create distortion.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Allowing the negative casts to dry thoroughly prior to shipping. </span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Proper protection of the negative cast during shipping to the laboratory. This is necessary to ensure that the plaster caster not get broken during the shipping process by common carrier.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Making sure that the prescription form is properly documented relative to the patient's diagnosis and Baturro request.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Once the negative cast is received by the production laboratory, it is critical that the negative cast be balanced with the heel vertical at 90°. If this is not done adequately and there's error in this vertical bisection process, there can be significant error in the manufacturing of the orthotic device.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Next, it is important to make sure that the plaster that is poured into the slipper cast is of the right consistency of water to plaster. If there's too much water in the plaster, it can cause the negative cast to collapse thereby losing correction.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Next, it is important to make sure that the technician does not put too much plaster fill in the arch. If there's too much plaster fill this will also reduce controllability of the device on the foot.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Next, the plastic that is heated in the convection oven must be heated at the right temperature for the right time. So that the plastic is pliable and not too soft and not too rigid for thermal pressing. If the plastic is not heated properly this can cause distortion and weakening of the plastic over the positive mold.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It is also vital that the bladder suctioning be of proper negative pressure so that the bladder that molds the heated plastic onto the positive shell brings the plastic down exactly to the surface of the plantar aspect of the positive mold so that there's adequate correction of the device. If bladder pressure is too weak then they'll be gapping between the plastic and the mold leading to further error. </span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">There are also a series of errors relative to the rough grinding and final grinding of the orthotic shell.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Errors on the medial and lateral side of the distal orthotic is also critical to supporting vital 1st Ray stability as well as other structures of the foot. If the shell is cut to narrow than the first ray and primary propulsive areas of the foot will fail to be supported.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Heel cup depth is also a critical factor in the manufacturing of the orthotic. If the heel cup is too shallow, particularly for men, this can effectively interfere with rear foot control.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Proper rear foot posting is critical for the locking and unlocking of the sub taylor joint against the mid tarsal joints of the foot. If there is not a proper posting correction, it could interfere with functional control of the rear foot on the midfoot thereby leaving the orthotic more vulnerable to error.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Understanding what type of orthotic is going be placed in the proper footwear. If the wrong orthotic is improperly matched to the footwear, this can cause binding of the orthotic and loss of biomechanical control. An example would be manufacturing an oxford orthotic to fit into a style shoe. Style orthotics are generally low bulk orthotics made specifically for style footwear.</span></li>
</ul>
<span style="color: red; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><strong>Advancements</strong></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Advancements in 3-D weight-bearing kinematic imaging have dramatically improved the accuracy of manufacturing process of corrective devices. 3DO imaging <strong>does not</strong> <strong>rely on neutral joint positioning, (Art Form),</strong> but rather it <strong><span style="color: red;">relies on the assessment of seven unique static and dynamic areas of physics;</span></strong></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<ol>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Mass displacement analysis</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Motion analysis</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Body balance in all three body planes</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Pressure analysis, both linear and sheer pressures</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Symmetry</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Gait Analysis</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Three dimensional plantar surfacing</span></li>
</ol>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">3DO imaging (3-D weight-bearing kinematic imaging), is a new state-of-the-art static and dynamic imaging process that accurately identifies complex to simple cyclic load conditions affecting the foot, lower leg, knee, hip, pelvis and spine. Sophisticated imaging software properly identifies the neutral joint position of the rear foot (Sub Talar Joint), midfoot, (mid tarsal joints) and the first ray (navicular, medial cuniform, 1st metatarsal, hallux) which is a primary propulsive part of the foot.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><strong><span style="color: red;">3DO imaging relies on precise three-dimensional geometry in order to provide the anatomy deformity to the necessary correction required</span></strong>. </span></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Technicians have software where they are are allowed to see the static and dynamic forces affecting the patient's cyclic load conditions in real time,(just what the physician sees). This is a critically important element in new imaging technology providing the technician with functional data relative to the patient's biomechanical and ergonomic conditions. It is as if the technician is standing right next to the doctor during the examination process. When the technician can see exactly what the doctor sees then he is able to perform the manufacturing process with greater degrees of accuracy.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Reducing the multiple areas of error in the data acquisition to manufacturing process improves dramatically the success rate of these devices on the patient's medical conditions. As a result we have developed a new product called a <strong>Bioengineerd Device</strong> as opposed to an orthotic that meets <strong>higher calibration and precision requirements</strong> of limb function.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Avoiding and preventing the surgery should be a primary goal of the physician treating orthopedic disease of the knee joint. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The knee is primarily a hinge joint and its primary function is to flex and extended with it's articulation with the tibia and the femur. The knee joint is affected by all three body planes.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="color: red; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><strong>Transverse Plane</strong></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Excessive internal rotation of the lower leg produced by excessive foot pronation is a primary cause for knee instability. When the foot overly collapses or pronates, the leg goes through excessive internal rotation during the mid stance phase of the gait cycle. This offsets the normal axis of motion of the knee joint causing the normal range of motion of the knee to be affected.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="color: red; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><strong>Frontal Plane</strong></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Knock knee position (coxa vara genu valgum) crests additional knee instability. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="color: red; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><strong>Lateral Plane</strong></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Hyper-extension of the knee along with tight posterior compartment shortages (equinus of gastrocnemius (calf) and hamstrings) are another deforming force on knee mechanics. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><strong>New methods of biomechanical and ergonomic intervention</strong></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;"></span><br />
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">3-D weight bearing kinematic imaging is a static and dynamic cyclic load stress analysis for providing the physician with critical information relative to loadbearing mechanics of the limb, pelvis and spine. Understanding the mechanical causes of knee disease is critical in both preventing surgery reducing medical costs and treatment and providing effective postoperative treatment regimens, especially in the case of knee implant surgery.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Critical surgical planning and biomechanical evaluation of of all three body planes (limb length, leg positioning (frontal plane) and rotation, muscle compartment strengths and weaknesses) are necessary evaluations prior to surgical intervention.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">If the implant surgery must be done, the patient should be evaluated postoperatively at three and six months as the implants seats in both the tibia and the femur postoperatively abd then followed every two years for adaption changes as the implant and other structures heal and compensate for surgical intervention. </span></li>
</ul>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Using 3-D weight-bearing kinematic imaging provides a true biomechanical and ergonomic snapshot of the patients static and functional conditions relative to cyclic load. Utilizing 3DO imaging (Three Dimensional Orthodynamics) is a very affective diagnostic tool for the assessment of both pre-surgical and post-surgical changes of the knee joint.</span> <br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><strong>Treatment solutions</strong> consisting of injections physical therapy and joint implant surgery are commonplace. </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The cause or etiology is due to a long-standing biomechanical destabilization of the joint resulting in abnormal wear and tear resulting in degenerative arthritic erosion of the femoral head. </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Since the hip joint functions and all three body planes, it is affected by all these planes as the joint becomes unstable. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="color: red; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><strong>Frontal Plane</strong></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The most common deforming force on the hip joint is due to a unilateral leg shortage. This condition not only adds more impact forces at the hip joint but also can cause compensating spinal adaption leading to scoliosis. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="color: red; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><strong>Transverse Plane</strong></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Another condition but at least you abnormal wear and tear at the hip joint is excessive limb rotation due to foot pronation. Foot pronation, or excessive collapsing of the foot, lease to excessive limb rotation which can cause abnormal cyclic load where at the hip joint.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="color: red; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><strong>Lateral Plane</strong></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Another condition that will add excessive trauma and compressive forces at the hip joint results from tight posterior muscle groups in the leg. This condition is known as equinus and results in abnormal cyclic load at the hip joint level.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><strong>Wolfes law</strong> states that if these abnormal compressive and loadbearing conditions continue for a period of time that there will be <strong>adaption and deterioration of bone</strong> and soft tissue at that joint level. This ultimately will lead to the intervention of joint implant surgery. Most of the time this is avoidable if hot and treated biomechanically.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="color: red; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><strong>Advancements in evaluation and treatment</strong></span><br />
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Understanding the cyclic load conditions of the hip in all three body planes using 3-D weight-bearing kinematic imaging is vital to the successful treatment of the hip joint. 3DO imaging, (Three Dimensional Orthodynamics), is a new state-of-the-art imaging technology that will isolate and identify complex cyclical load conditions affecting the body. </span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Utilizing bioengineerd devices to control cyclic load conditions of the foots interaction with the ground significantly reduces trauma to the hip joint and will stop and many times reverse some of the arthritic damage in the joint especially in the younger patient. Bioengineered devices are a higher level of mechanical control the classic foot orthotics and provided very precise method of control for complex load conditions of the body.</span></li>
</ul>

These devices are affected by reactive ground forces from the body and there should be a conserted effort to evaluate and control the cyclic load conditions.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Any orthosis is going to have a change in the mechanical alteration of limb function.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Understanding the effects of these devices is important in the total rehabilitation and stabilization of the patient from an ergonomic and biomechanical perspective.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Utilizing 3-D weight-bearing kinematic imaging is a critical tool in the understanding of simple to complex cyclic load conditions during static and dynamic gait. </span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">3DO imaging, (Three Dimensional Orthodynamics), has proven to be a very effective diagnostic tool in the evaluation of bracing and orthosis utilization.</span></li>

<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The cause is due to <strong>excessive transverse plane rotation</strong> of the leg as a result of foot pronation.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Most of the treatments provided are symptomatic with injections, surgery, and rehabilitation. Unfortunately few physicians look at the biomechanical cause of the condition.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The knee primarily works as a hinge anatomically and as a result is designed to work on one plane of motion which is flexion and extension.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">When the foot overly pronate's or collapses, it causes the internal rotation of the lower leg to increase thereby setting off the normal axis of motion of the knee joint causing the patella to abnormally track in the femoral groove.</span></li>
</ul>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Understanding the complex biomechanics of the foot and its affect on transfers plane limb rotation is critical in the proper treatment of this condition.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">New medical treatments and have been developed to better understand the internal mechanical function of the foot and static and dynamic environments and it's effect on abnormal transverse plane limb rotation.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">3-D weight-bearing kinematic imaging is the most sophisticated method for analyzing this condition. This is done through the utilization of a computer weight-bearing 3-D mechanical tracking system referred to as 3DO (Three Dimensional Orthodynamics). </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This analytical computer system was developed by Digital Orthotics after many years of research and development.</span><br />

<br />
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The analysis of load bearing conditions is evaluated through intelligent software were critical elements of body mass displacement, body balance, pressure load, motion analysis, symmetry, gate, and three-dimensional plantar surfacing is evaluated. With a simple to operate software interface, the 90 second analysis is easy to perform by medical or non-medical personnel.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The patient, consumer or athlete stands on the 3D media and then walks on the 3D media where multiple physical properties are analyzed. Next an outcome measurement report is produced providing static and dynamic information to educate and provide objective information relative to diseases.</span></li>
</ul>
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">According to Dr Craig Lowe, a retired physician and biomechanical researcher who developed the 3DO system after 15 years of research and development developed the 3D imager to analyzed the mechanical cause of injuries, arthritis, and many other orthopedic conditions which stem from a biomechanical cause. These conditions need to have biomechanical intervention so that the cause of the deformity, the injury, the disease is focused on at the foundation of the disorder.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>The problem ...</b> Few physicians understands the complexity of the new speciality of Functional Biomechanics and so Dr Lowe developed software which drives Neutral Joint Positioning which is critical to controlling cyclic load control of the limb, pelvis, and spine. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">3DO imaging has been used on patients, professional athletes, injury assessments, US Olympics as well as industry in the United States, Canada and Asia. </span><br />

<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The nerve is affected by all three body planes. </span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">One of the major biomechanical body planes that leads to the development of sciatica is excessive internal limb rotation created by foot pronation (transverse plane). </span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Another body plane is the lateral plane. When there are tight hamstrings and the posterior Fiock compartment this leads to additional pressure on the sciatic nerve. </span></li>
</ul>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Sciatica refers to pain, weakness, numbness, or tingling in the leg. It is caused by injury to or pressure on the sciatic nerve. Sciatica is a symptom of another medical problem, not a medical condition on its own. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Sciatica occurs when there is pressure or damage to the sciatic nerve. This nerve starts in the lower spine and runs down the back of each leg. This nerve controls the muscles of the back of the knee and lower leg and provides sensation to the back of the thigh, part of the lower leg, and the sole of the foot.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Biomechanical and ergonomic conditions can now be analyized using 3-D weight-bearing kinematic imaging, (3DO - </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Three Dimensional Orthodynamics). Through this static and dynamic 3-D analysis, we can evaluate the forces, and motion including mass displacement affecting limb rotation. After analysis is performed, Custom Bio-Engineered Devices are made to control precisely the excessive limb rotation that is affecting the sciatic nerve. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Low back pain is one of the most common conditions seen in Orthopedics. The treatment varies substantially depending on who you see.</span></div>
<ul><div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<li><div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Most back pain is due to a cumulative trauma from loadbearing forces affecting the body as we walk and stand and work and play.</span></div>
</li>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<li><div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial;">The Spine is affected by all three body planes and for successful treatment, all body planes need to be evaluated and treated,</span></div>
</li>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<li><div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Understanding the loadbearing conditions that caused spinal pain is vital in the successful treatment of the condition.</span></div>
</li>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
</ul>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><strong>Advancements in medical imaging</strong> has substantially improved our understanding of the complex factors that create not only spinal pain but pelvic hip knee and limb pain.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">3DO imaging, (3D weight-bearing kinematic imaging), represents the latest advancements in medical imaging to understand simple to complex cyclic load conditions of the body interacting with the ground.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The cause, is complex, however the usual causes are due to foot abnormalities being affected by man-made surfaces and footwear.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The treatment has historically been done through the utilization of orthotics, surgery, immobilization, and injections. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Advancements in 3-D static and dynamic imaging systems have now opened up the door to evaluate simple to complex loadbearing conditions in critical regions of the foot. Digital Orthotics, a bio engineering company, has developed a static and dynamic 3-D weight-bearing kinematic imaging technology that precisely evaluates cyclic load conditions of the body interacting with the ground. The technology is referred to as 3DO imaging (Three Dimensional Orthodynamics). The analysis is quick and simple and takes approximately 90 seconds to perform but provides a tremendous amount of information relative to static and dynamic forces relative to Mass displacement, motion analysis, pressure, body balance, symmetry, gait, and three dimensional geometry.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">3DO imaging is the latest medical device system that provides a complex array of solutions for patients with loadbearing joint pain affecting the foot, leg, knee, hip, pelvis, and spinal structures.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span><br />

Not only can footwear be made to fit your foot in a custom manner, but we can also provide a bioengineered control of joint interlocking of the foot as a body interact with the ground. In the past, this was done through the use of custom orthotics. Now with advancements in 3-D weight-bearing kinematic imaging (Three Dimensional Orthodynamics (3DO imaging)), precise control of unique joint interlocking of the rear foot midfoot and primary propulsor part of the foot we call the first ray canal be achieved using advanced imaging solutions and integrated software.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Medicine's answer has been unique from the perspective that physicians attempt to treat pain deformity and disease through the treatment of the symptom. Ergonomic and biomechanical specialists tend to identify complex cyclic load conditions that result of anatomical variations in the human population and provide a biomechanical solution through the intervention of engineering principles. <strong>Mechanical problems require mechanical solutions</strong> and the treatment of the symptoms through toxic drug intervention surgery and rehabilitation for the most part does not work.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">These revolutionary breakthroughs provide enhanced solutions for athletes regarding performance issues and routine workers patients and consumers worldwide.</span><br />

Dr. Craig Lowe. 714-785-1444 Cellhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00042229261468274844noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13751680.post-1119028979098868262005-06-17T10:12:00.000-07:002012-09-11T20:01:38.343-07:00New Technology Brings New Marketing Ideas<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><strong>Stay efficient, grow your medical practice while expanding your services using new 3D (3DO imaging technology) created by Digital Orthotics and the Quasar Group. </strong></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">In today's world of managed care, competing for more patients and growing your medical practice has never been more demanding. Keeping the physician more efficient maintains profits and reduces overhead. </span><br />
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">By using 3DO technology you can maximize efficiency and grow your medical practice using the 3DO Foot Imaging and Gait Analysis System</span></li>
</ul>
<span style="color: red; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><strong>New Innovation Technology</strong></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The 3DO Foot Imager uses a new state of the art technology which combines the best of two worlds: namely, a 3D plantar surfacing technology combined with a sensitive and accurate 2D Gait Analysis platform, on one user friendly system which is portable, affordable and durable. </span><br />
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The 3DO operation is so simple, the doctor can now task out orthotic imaging and gait analysis to his back office staff, freeing up his or her time to focus on tasks that create profit for the medical practice. </span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This enables the physician or staff to efficiently use this advanced imaging technology to also perform electronic 3D casting without the plaster mess and the time it takes to tie up a treatment room. </span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">In addition, the 3DO imager's robust visual graphics can be used as a wonderful tool to educate the patient as to what biomechanical and ergonomic patterns are creating disease, or injury to their feet and extremities, while at the same time documenting objective data for medical necessity and legal protection against malicious malpractice claims. Today, you would have to buy two separate imaging systems to do what the 3DO imager does. In addition, by having access to 3DO technology, you also become a Network Provider, which opens up your ability to tap into our North American 3DO Manufacturing Laboratory Alliance and other professional laboratories being trained and certified by the Quasar Group. Furthermore, all Network Providers gain access to new patients through Practice Development programs. For example, we have a nationwide marketing program with insurance companies and other markets, such as unions, to provide up to 1.4 million patient visits to Network Providers this year alone.</span></li>
</ul>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Our goal is to provide economic growth to the medical profession and help you use medical grade foot orthotics and Bioengineered Devices to grow your medical practice and help the millions of Americans who do not have access to orthotic therapy. We believe Physicians should be the "gait" keepers of these new emerging markets, so we promote Physicians as the Specialists in this country.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">According to Dr Craig Lowe, CEO and President of Digital Orthotics and Quasar Group, "Restricted access to orthotics by patients has now changed." The demands for using plaster casting are quickly coming to an end.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;"></span><br />
<span style="color: red; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><strong>Improving Orthotic Manufacturing Quality</strong></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"By using artificial intelligence and new engineering technology, the world of plaster casting and all of the inherent errors in making orthotics has been significantly reduced," states Dr. Craig Lowe, who is in charge of Quasar's Research and Development. The 3DO technology platform is very robust and simple to use, which opens up the ability to have a level data capture playing field every time. This stable consistency gives the doctor and production laboratory more information, such as mass displacement, pressure analysis, motion analysis and 3D surfacing. "Now the production technicians can see everything the doctor sees in his office," states Dr. Lowe. First ray hypermobility, equinus, functional and anatomical abnormalities and more are now seen in real time using 3DO production software. This allows for "Functional Manufacturing" using State of the Art technology, such as NC Routing of either the orthotic shell itself or the positive cast.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">According to Dr. Lowe, who has owned and operated many orthotic production labs, there are many potential points of error (27 identified in the side bar on pg. 219) in making an orthotic that can interfere with the therapeutic results the physician is trying to achieve. This situation has led to a industry return rate of around 15% nationwide.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
The 3DO manufacturing platform is very robust, versatile and stable. Production laboratories can make custom orthotics using a variety of established and recognized manufacturing methods, from thermo pressing to milling. "What we have also done is create manufacturing software and manufacturing protocols which reduce many of the errors commonly seen in plaster production," states Dr. Lowe. "We also have developed a state-of-the-art lean manufacturing pathway so that the production labs can manufacture products better and faster than ever before. By virtue of our user and manufacturing software, we can reduce errors and have a clearer communication pathway on orders. As a result of our advancements in manufacturing, we see less production errors and fewer returns. Our annual return rate is less than 1%. As a result, all of our Network Labs guarantee their products and services to the doctor."<br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><strong>E-Commerce</strong><br />
Using the Internet to maximize reordering is another profit center for your practice. Should you choose to use Web-based reordering of products, the 3DO systems are ideal for this application. Simply providing you access to scan production orders gives you more options for growth.</span><br />
