The Pedorthists at STAND YOUR GROUND offer a biomechanical assessment that is a critical analysis of the foot and lower limb and all of its moving parts. A detailed history offers initial insight and is followed by a series of range of motion (ROM) and muscles strength tests. A video gait assessment is performed, then a variety of personalized treatment plans will be discussed as needed.

Custom and OTS foot orthotics can be discussed with our experts. If you are looking for custom foot orthotics we recommend an assessment with one of our Pedorthists for a full Biomechanical Evaluation & Gait Analysis. If OTS foot orthotics are desired, book a One2One evaluation with one of our Fit Experts.

Fit Experts at STAND YOUR GROUND use a brannock device to measure the foot length and width for an accurate shoe fit. Various footwear features are considered including the type of upper material (leather, suede, cloth) style of closure (lace, Velcro, buckles), and availability of sizing (extra depths and widths). When off-the-shelf footwear still won’t work, custom made shoes can be designed.

Following a custom foot orthotic fitting or in-depth footwear fit it may be necessary to follow up with us for an adjustment. Adjustments and fine tuning are a normal part of the process. In many cases, With our on-site lab equipment, adjustments can be done during your appointment time. Sometimes just a small adjustment is required for great success.

A pedorthic treatment plan specifically designed for a patient may include referrals to other paramedical professionals such as physiotherapy, chiropractor, massage therapy, athletic therapy, foot care nurse, chiropody, etc. A positive patient outcome is the end goal of all treatment plans and thus a team of professionals is sometimes required. With patient permission, pertinent information is shared for discussion.
