Scan

Scan style selection will indicate to technicians that a marking has been made on the plantar fascia prior to 3D scanning, or has been indicated using the Make Drawing tool.

This is the most accurate method of Plantar Fascia Accommodation prescription.

Tip

This area of application can be easily modified during computer-aided design. The best practice is to mark the required area of application directly on the foot prior to 3D colour scanning or plaster casting. If this is not possible, then you can simply draw a diagram using the Make Drawing tool.

Warning

It is not recommended that this adjustment be used to increase heel height. This is better suited for narrowing, or widening the internal heel cup. If you would like to increase heel height we recommend reading about the Orthosis Width (US Foot Size) prescription variables on the Shoe Fitting page of LaserCAM Prescribe.

A Skive is an adjustment that is achieved by orientating a flat plane relative to the aligned 3D foot scan during computer-aided design. This plane is orientated in relation to a marked subtalar joint axis, or at a specific angle, and pushed through the 3D foot scan at a specified depth.

The Skive Depth directly effects the magnitude of supination or pronation moment applied to the subtalar joint. It is measured from the blue depth sphere placed on the 3D foot scan to the skive plane (see image below). 

...

Skive Angle

The Skive Angle defines the frontal plane orientation of the skive plane. If the subtalar join axis is medially deviated then the Skive Angle should increase to ensure a supination moment is being applied to the subtalar joint.

...

The Inclination Angle defines the sagittal plane orientation of the skive plane. The default value is set to Maximum Inclination, which is considered generally appropriate. Specific values may be requested.
