Mobile 3D scans can also be used to transfer volumetric data, giving a full understanding of the foot’s structure and dynamics. Footscan technology also includes several analysis tools, such as pressure analysis, roll-off patterns, and risk analysis. After the scanning process, clinical experts assess the proposed design to ensure that it meets the unique needs of each patient.
