How does the TOG GaitScan™ system compare with other systems?
Shop around! From the technical side, you should be interested in many aspects, such as how many sensors are there on the plate available to measure pressure and how many times a second are all those sensors scanned? Our systems has 4096 sensors scanning at 300 times per second. Our thin plate is only 13mm thick, with an active landing area of 1650cm2. Our largest competitor, has 960 sensors and scans at 30 frames per second; a plate thickness of 15mm and active landing area of 960cm2. Bottom line, our plate is easier to land on and when you do land there it has 4X the sensors being scanned 4X as often.

If GaitScan™ is so much more advanced than other alternatives, why do you charge less for it?
Great Question. Pricing GaitScan™ so competitively is making it tough for our partners to delay the purchase of GaitScan™ and to delay improvements in clinical treatment for their patients. GaitScan™ customers are all around the globe: in Canada, US, UK, Ireland, Wales, Scotland, Northern Ireland, Japan, South Korea, and Australia with more joining TOG every day. Pricing GaitScan™ so competitively has allowed us to help more practitioners worldwide and in turn help their patients achieve comfort with our custom orthotics.

Is GaitScan™ easy to use and learn?
Without a doubt. Easy use was our first priority when doing market research on current systems available to you. Our partners wanted a flashier system with more features and reporting…but one that was easy to use and learn. GaitScan™ has its own help file and manual to assist you from day one. This, combined with our support team walking you through the software, ensures that you are able to capitalize on this technology in your clinic as soon as you open our box!

Do I have to buy the computer from The Orthotic Group?
You don't have to, but we strongly recommend it. Over 85% of our partners have purchased the turn key solution from us. This ensures that everything is running smoothly when it leaves our offices and you get a top of the line computer for your system. GaitScan™ is a new technology and when purchasing a computer from TOG we can promise no compatability surprises with your system and computer.

It seems like a large investment. Can you guarantee this will pay for itself?
Guarantee is a strong word! While we can't guarantee your volume will increase, our partners who use GaitScan™ day to day have been able to increase their volume (Visit our Testimonials) far more than needed to pay for their system. With just one more orthotic patient a month the lease of GaitScan™ is paid for. You help more of your patients and increase your revenue at the same time.

How does GaitScan™ help increase my orthotic volume?
In real estate success it is location, location, location. For orthotic success it is awareness, awareness, awareness. Scanning all new patients for biomechanical abnormalies with GaitScan™ ensures that you understand your patients biomechanics and their possible need for orthotic therapy. When there is a concern that should be treated with orthotic therapy, GaitScan™ makes it easy to communicate to the patient, the insurer and the family physician that a prescription is required. Because GaitScan™ is so portable, many of our partners take it outside the office for screenings to gyms, workplaces or health fairs. Not only does it increase orthotic awareness, but also increases your clinic awareness.
Bottom line, GaitScan™ will help you help more of your patients.
