The Rebound clinic specialises in the diagnosis and correction of bio-mechanical
dysfunction conditions, chronic and long-term injuries of the leg and
foot.
Or, more simply:
- We help people who (typically) have long standing/persistent walking,
sporting and/or movement related injuries.
- We specialise in all foot and leg problems.
- We video patient's movements to assist in accurate diagnosis.
- We analyse video and examination data to anable precise treatment.
- We take impressions of patient's feet to create casts if required.
- We produce individually designed corrective footwear inserts in our
on-site workshop.
- We specifically fit and test all our orthotics to ensure maximum comfort
and performance.

The overwhelming majority of our patients find our treatments completely
successful, due to the step by step method of treatment that we adopt
(see the flow chart below). To
find out exactly how successful, see our testimonial
pages. For a listing of the types of conditions that we treat, see our
medical page.
Podiatry:
Podiatry is the assessment, diagnosis and management of foot and lower
limb related problems. Podiatry is not yet as well known in the UK as
in the USA, where Americans typically consult their podiatrist. So much
so that a visit to a podiatrist is almost as common as a visit to the
dentist.
Rebound's Logical Step by Step Approach to
Treatment:
|
STATIC BIOMECHANICAL
EXAMINATION
Skeletal alignment
checked, lying, sitting and standing
|
|
|
|
DYNAMIC EXAMINATION
Video Gait analysis on treadmill
or simply walking
|
|
|
TEMPORARY/DIAGNOSTIC CORRECTIVE
INSOLE MADE
Using the information from the
gait analysis an insole is produced and fitted "while you
wait"
|
|
|
|
|
CAST OF FOOT TAKEN
(If moulded orthoses is needed)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
TREATMENT TEST PERIOD
The diagnostic insole is worn
for between 2-4 weeks, after which a review takes place (either
in person or by ophone depending on distance travelled)
|
Diagnostic
insole not completely successful
|
MODIFICATIONS
TO DIAGNOSTIC INSOLE
If the function of
the temporary device is not completely successful, modifications
are made to improve and enhance the outcome of the treatment. Only
when the patient is completely satisfied with the treatment do we
move on to the next stage.
(This can be done
in person or by phone call and post)

|
|
 |
PERMANENT CORRECTIVE ORTHOTIC
DEVICE PRODUCED
From the successful diagnostic
insole an accurately individuallydesigned corrective device can
now be produced
|
Modifications
successful
|
|
|
|
|
FITTING OF ORTHOSES
All our devices are fitted into
the shoe with any relevant modifications made. This ensures that
our orthoses not only performto the optimum, but are also as comfortable
as possible.
