Some of our 1000+ GaitScan™ partners have been kind enough to put
their words down on paper since our GaitScan™ release in May of 2002. Here is a
small sampling of their letters to us:
On the investment:
Dear Friends at The Orthotic Group,
I just wanted to drop you a line to tell you how happy
we are with the purchase of our GaitScan™. I should have bought one of these
when they first became available. Patients really find it fascinating; the new
technology seems to be a source of interest and referrals. The accuracy with
which we can now make orthotics and footwear is impressive. My staff learned how
to use it competently within an hour and our sales have gone WAY up! I purchased
it just after Christmas and by the first week in March it was completely paid
for. Incredible! Thanks for all the support you have offered us. The
complementary seminar was worthwhile.
Sincerely Dr. David L. Phillips
(Ontario, Canada)
On Patient
Diagnosis:
TOG GaitScan™ enables us to gain access to previously
unavailable information about the foot. We are now seeing greater information
about our patients' gait and its ramification on the feet. TOG GaitScan™ allows
us to assess and educate our patients and assists us with orthotics selection.
Patients are more appreciative of our services, because they can now easily see
what we have done for them. They can clearly see their problems and pressure
areas and can more easily focus on what I am trying to explain to them. TOG
GaitScan™ has made our office more efficient, speeding the fitting process as
well. I highly recommend using this state of the art technology in your office.
Sincerely Dr. Zora Zoe Ramos (Florida, USA)
On Patient Understanding and
Compliance:
The TOG GaitScan™ is an excellent diagnostic tool that
enables the patient to gain a greater appreciation of their foot biomechanics.
Any evident instability is easily communicated with the end result being the
patient's increased compliance to follow a recommendation for custom made
orthotics.
Dr. Mark Peverett (Alberta, Canada)
The GaitScan™ has allowed me to confidently complement
my diagnosis and analysis of different patient concerns. The patients are very
impressed with the reports, take home printouts, technology and, of course, the
finished product. If it is important to you, there has been much greater
interest, both by patients and the doctors in prescription of orthotics and this
has lead to an increase in revenue and profit. I have found The Orthotic Group,
GaitScan™ and orthotics all very helpful in assisting my patients achieve their
level of wellness.
Dr. Scott Morrison (British Columbia, Canada)
Support Materials:
I am VERY impressed and happy with the GaitScan™
operations and clinical interpretation manual, and I look forward to the further
growth and increasing depth of the interpretation manual!
Dr. Chris Gordon
(Ontario, Canada)
And last but not least from our team at The Orthotic
Group
It has been an absolute pleasure helping design and
program the top gait analysis system in the orthotic industry. Heading the IT
department of the world's fastest growing orthotic company is not an easy task,
but working on this project makes patients feel better every day and makes
every hour worthwhile. When I started at TOG I knew that I needed feet to
walk, now like everyone else here, they are my
life.
Chris Patten, Vice President, The
Orthotic Group.
GaitScan™ started as a
pipe dream; and now, reading the testimonials and speaking to our partners and
their patients everyday we realize we have not only raised the bar in gait
analysis, but we have opened up a whole new world of patient care and
understanding. Since GaitScan™ released in May of 2002, we now help patients not
just in Canada and the US but all over the globe. It is a very exciting time to
be a member of such an innovative and dynamic team that cares so greatly about
what we do and who we help! Bruce
Marrison, Senior Vice President, The Orthotic Group.
