Using the MatScan® as a Rehabilitation Tool

Help re-align the lower limb & maintain optimal posture

Using the MatScan to assess plantar pressure, weight distribution and Center of Force (CoF) while the patient is standing or performing knee flexions helps identify muscle balance and lower limb alignment. The physiological method of muscular training to re-align posture or align the lower limb is often neglected and is a cause leading to the failure of successful re-alignments. With the patient in the desired position on the MatScan, determine which muscles are weak and identify training, and then provide a plan for rehabilitation. The patient will then be on the way to recovery.

Balanced Musculature with Optimal Alignment of the Lower Limb

With balanced musculature and optimal alignment, left and right plantar pressure profiles and weight distribution are symmetrical and CoF is located at about midline between the feet and at mid-tarsal level.
