This is a medical device used to improve balance, coordination and muscle strength. During a therapy session, the patient stands on the platform and performs a series of balance and coordination exercises while moving in different directions. The platform responds to the patient’s movements and provides adjustable resistance to improve muscle strength and stability. It is commonly used in the rehabilitation of knee and ankle injuries, and in recovery after surgery. It is a useful tool for improving balance, coordination and muscle strength in patients who have suffered an injury or have a medical condition that affects their mobility. The platform provides a safe and effective form of rehabilitation to help patients regain their physical ability and improve their quality of life.

This is a very useful tool to obtain objective, detailed information about the physical condition and capabilities of the person undergoing training. These initial assessments provide a solid basis for the design of personalised, safe training programmes. Some of the elements measured are:

• Assessment of strength and stability
• Balance and coordination analysis
• Measurement of power and speed
• Assessment of gait and biomechanics
• Data recording for follow-up
• Identification of potential risks

A worldwide patent from Podoactiva to design foot moulds, both physical and virtual. This scanner helps us obtain a virtual image of the foot by laser, stepping through an elastic membrane, with adjustable tension, which achieves an optimal geometry for the subsequent design of the personalised insole. When the mould is obtained directly by placing the foot on the glass, as is the case with other scanners available on the market, both the image of the heel and the forefoot are flattened and the plantar arch is significantly reduced. This exclusive system from Podoactiva allows us to obtain a virtual image with an accuracy of one micron and in a real situation of patient load, registering the soft tissue and simulating the situation inside the shoe. Once the virtual mould has been obtained, Podoactiva’s engineering department designs the insole using specific Podoactiva software which applies finite element calculation concepts (a system exclusive to Podoactiva worldwide) to enable a virtual simulation of the behaviour of the insole in the patient’s foot, taking into account its geometry, weight and dynamics.
