stappone Sensor Insoles at the Weißer Hof Rehabilitation Clinic

The Weißer Hof Rehabilitation Clinic employs advanced technology to enhance patient care. By using stappone sensor insoles, which enable precise gait analyses, the therapy process becomes more effective and tailored to each patient.

Case Study 1: Rehabilitation After a Calcaneus Fracture

In the case of a patient recovering from a calcaneus fracture, stappone sensor insoles were used during a 20-meter walking test. The analysis revealed a significantly higher pressure load on the lateral side of the foot and reduced pressure on the big toe’s ball. These insights are crucial for therapists, as they indicate a disruption in the natural pressure distribution while walking.

To improve the patient’s gait symmetry, live feedback from the insoles was utilized. This allowed the patient to make real-time corrections and practice achieving a symmetrical pressure distribution while standing. The ability to receive immediate feedback and respond accordingly provides substantial benefits.

Case Study 2: Challenges After a Metatarsal Fracture and Soft Tissue Defect

Another patient with a metatarsal fracture and a soft tissue defect on the sole also benefited from the sensor insoles during therapy. During the 20-meter walking test, the analysis showed low forefoot pressure on the affected side and significantly increased heel pressure. This information is essential for tailoring the rehabilitation program to the patient’s specific needs and avoiding overloading the injured area.

The test results led to an adjusted treatment strategy aimed at more evenly distributing the load and thus promoting healing. The use of sensor insoles helps to precisely understand the foot’s load dynamics and implement appropriate therapeutic measures.

Conclusion

Through the precise analysis of gait patterns, individualized therapy approaches can be developed and optimized, leading to faster and more effective rehabilitation outcomes. The sensor insoles not only support medical personnel but also enable patients to actively participate in their recovery and experience progress in real time.
