The RX24 QuadraStep System™ is based on a clinical algorithm identifying 24 unique foot-types. These 24 foot-types are subdivided into 6 groupings of 4, known as “quads.” Each quad has its own very specific foot and gait characteristics. A patient’s foot-type (quad-type) influences not only their gait, but the conditions that may afflict them throughout their lives. Unlike other pre-fabricated orthoses that have a “one-shape-fits-all” limitation, the QuadraStep System™ offers a more tailored solution to their foot-type.
This one-day program examines pathological gait conditions, resulting from the occurrence of rearfoot varus deformities (compensated and uncompensated), forefoot varus and forefoot valgus deformities, as well as their combined effects. The student will learn to perform visual static and dynamic gait analysis, interpreting key weight-bearing compensations, in order to differentially interpret a patient’s foot type. Students are taught how to implement the RX24 algorithmic process to classify an individual’s foot into one of 6 major foot, or “Quad”, types. Students will come to understand how the specific gait sequencing of each foot type may predispose an individual to a certain set of pathologies.
Lab sessions will include foot-typing fellow students and actual fitting of Quad specific pre-fabricated functional foot orthoses. At the conclusion of this program, each participant will have a detailed comprehension of assessment of foot-type, without the need for complicated goniometric measurements. The student will leave this program skilled in a more functional approach to foot and gait assessment, allowing them to return to their clinic with the ability to offer their patients a more immediate and cost effective orthotic solution.
