DOLA Orthotics Education: What makes a good Digita

DOLA Orthotics Education: What makes a good Digital Scan? Quality
A good digital scan can make the difference between an effective or ineffective orthotic.
Digital scanners are growing in popularity as they are a fast and clean method of foot capture.
When assessing your digital scan, we recommend looking at 2 criteria: Quality and Understanding.
1) Quality: has it captured what you wanted it to and what the lab needs to make an orthotic
2) Understanding: do you understand what is captured to apply to your prescription
1) What makes a good Digital scan?:
-Access / encryption: can your lab use the scan type you have sent them
-Depth /field of view: has the scan captured all of the foot morphology needed
-No Holes / missing data
-Calibration: the scan is accurate to size
-Captures foot morphology in 3 Dimensions
2) Common errors / challenges:
-Encrypted files
-Shallow / small field of capture
-Missing data / holes
-Missing key foot morphology
3) Key Features of 3D Foot morphology to capture in a Digital scan:
-Foot length
-Length to Metatarsal heads
-Heel width
-Forefoot width
-Foot shape (medial and lateral borders)
-Medial arch height, shape, features
-Lateral arch height, shape, features
-Forefoot to rearfoot relationship
-Metatarsal alignment
-Toe alignment
4) What foot Positions can you capture with your scanner?: What positions do you need?
Non weightbearing STJ neutral
Semi weightbearing
Full weight bearing

DOLA Education: How to scan a foot using an iPad s

DOLA Education: How to scan a foot using an iPad scanner
The iPad scanner allows clinicians to take a 3D scan of the patients foot and submit it for the ordering of foot orthotics as an alternative to traditional plater casting.
Key Points:
-Select the foot icon
-Align the foot template over the foot
-The target circle will turn green and the foot red at the correct scanning distance of approximately 50-60cm
-The area captured by the scanner will turn white
-To complete your scan ensure all areas of the foot are captured.
-This includes capturing the plantar surface, medial surface, lateral surface, posterior heel and toes.
-Review your scan, rotate and zoom, to ensure all surface are captured and you understand what has been captured for your prescription.
