Abstract
In the article, the authors describe the use of reverse engineering technology (3D scanners) and image analysis methods that allow a very accurate reflection of the curvature of the foot, making it possible to choose an orthopedic insert that provides correct support points and proper distribution of loads in the foot, thereby improving the axis of the entire lower limb. The experiment was carried out on 4 patients, which underwent the following tests: computer suboscopy, X-ray (performed on 3 patients) and a 3D footprint scan process for each patient. For each case, a spatial model was generated, reflecting the foot geometry, which became a key element in determining the therapy and conservative treatment of lower limb defects (flatfoot, calcaneal spur, hallux valgus, calluses).
