District Foot & Ankle Center believes that having the best technology
provides our patients with better a better diagnosis and treatment
plan.
Digital X-Ray
FDFAC has used digital x-ray since 2006 and was the first private podiatry
office in the Bay Area to offer this technology. We utilize the Extreme 1012
system, which is the first fully automatic CR scanner dedicated to digital
imaging for the extremities. In addition to the convenience of onsite imaging,
you will also receive a free PC compatible disc of any images taken at your
first visit to FDFAC. Other facilities charge as much as $50 for this must-have
part of your medical record, but not us. We believe the more information
you have about your own health care, the more informed your decisions can
be regarding your care.
Musculoskeletal Ultrasound
FDFAC has used ultrasound since 2008 and was the first private podiatry office
in the Bay Area to offer this technology. We utilize the Sonosite portable
system with printing capabilities to enhance patient care and treatment.
All heel spur, neuroma, and platelet rich plasma injections are done under
ultrasound guidance. Ultrasound helps identify conditions that were previously
only visible with expensive and time consuming MRI imaging, including tendon
and fascial tears and foreign bodies.
F-Scan In-Shoe Pressure Gait Analysis
FDFAC has used F-Scan since 2004. The F-Scan System captures dynamic in-shoe
pressure and force information and reveals interaction between foot and footwear.
Unlike traditional visual observation of foot function and gait, F-Scan quantifies
force, contact pressure distribution, and timing. The system includes sensors,
scanning electronics, and software as well as a protocol for analysis, diagnosis,
and confirmation of the effectiveness of interventions. The extremely thin,
high resolution F-Scan sensor ensures the most accurate data is captured.
F-Scan provides biomechanical parameters and a better understanding of foot
function, gait, and factors that effect both.
Amfit Contact Digitizer
FDFAC has used Amfit’s Contact Digitizer since 2008. The Amfit digitizer
measures the entire plantar surface of the foot giving the doctors at FDFAC
precise data to make the best foot orthotics.
H-P Cosmos Motion Analysis Running
Machine
FDFAC has used H-P Cosmos Running Machine since 2004 and is the only medical
clinic on the West Coast to use this state-of-the-art running machine. An integral
part to every walking and running analysis performed at FDFAC, the remote controlled
H-P Cosmos running machine assists physicians in viewing forward, reverse,
incline and side analysis of gait. With a wide belt and stable running surface
it’s the perfect complement to H-P Cosmos Para Motion software used for
motion analysis. The H-P Cosmos Running Machine is unmatched to other forward
only treadmill machines.
H-P Cosmos Para Motion Software for
Motion Analysis
H-P Cosmos Para Motion System is video recording software developed to coordinate
with the H-P Cosmos Motion Analysis Running Machine. The digital software is
designed for video-based gait and motion analysis with integrated treadmill
control, extensive analysis tools, and individual report functions.
