Is it best to have a plaster bandage cast or a 3D scan impression to make moulded orthotics?
A There is no research at present to suggest scanning is more accurate than plaster bandage casting. We use both three dimensional digitised scanning and plaster bandage casting depending on differing conditions and height of support required. Digitised casting is the only repeatable method of taking three dimensional impressions of a foot. The London Foot Hospital use digital casting machines.
