No company to date in the orthotic industry has been the corporate advocate for education, prevention and resolution of biomechanical problems, although, a significant problem exists. Corporations, utilizing the Footmaxx assessment reports are the final decision makers of those who ultimately receive orthotic therapy, and objectively evaluate the benefits and statistical outcomes. The 'overall patient satisfaction' category refers to how happy or pleased the patient is with their orthotics in general. This category accounts for all factors associated with wearing orthotics, such as shoe fit, ease of break-in period, feel of wearing the orthotic, etc. This is the standard of professionalism that Footmaxx clinicians comply with to participate in the Corporate Footcare program.
Compliance is necessary for continuing certification.
The Footmaxx technology is designed to differentiate the degree of abnormal biomechanial dysfunction. Our assessment report to corporations details for each employee the gradient of need specific to their gait. This in effect is a pre-determination of need by which the corporation may decide whom of perhaps many employees with varying needs are the priority candidates for orthotic therapy. It is important for an employer to maintain the stability of benefit costs within a certain budgeted range. Planned changes in benefit usage require a cost benefit analysis to justify the value of the program to a company's bottom line.
