Dr. Davies has
developed a unique foot biomechanics analysis system
that he calls the C.A.F.F. System (an acronym for
Computer Analysis of Foot Function). The C.A.F.F.
system consists of a state-of-the-art foot pressure
measurement system in which paper-thin pressure
sensors allow for the in-shoe measurement of foot
pressures as the patient walks or runs on a
treadmill. The system instantly detects, displays,
and records foot pressures and forces without
interfering with normal gait pattern. In addition,
the patient’s gait while walking or running on the
treadmill is captured on a video camera. The video
is then digitally analyzed with a computerized
system that allows for frame-by-frame analysis of
the patient’s gait. This sophisticated
biomechanical analysis of foot function will allow
Dr Davies to construct orthotics that will treat
patients with foot pain, knee pain, hip pain and low
back pain.
