28 Interpod Orthotics Simplify prescription objectively A supination resistance assessment device used to help determine the minimal effective level of orthotic support needed to reduce patient symptoms. Evaluating the level of orthotic support is key to successful outcomes. Remove the guesswork Visual Assessment using the Foot Posture Index and checking for 'overpronation' are not indicative of injury causing factors. Forces, loads and stress placed upon tissues are the current accepted parameters to be assessed when prescribing orthotics. Objective practice The Keystone provides objective readings, use these readings to help determine the level of orthotic support required to alleviate patient symptoms. Use technology to communicate with others Compare results and discuss patients with other practitioners using objective measurements. Keystone and supination resistance The amount of force required to supinate the foot is weakly related to how pronated it is. The amount of force required to supinate the foot is highly correlated to the subtalar joint axis position. Body weight explains about a third of the force required to supinate the foot.
