RX24 Quadrastep System Ready to Wear Orthoses with Custom Results

The RX24 Quadrastep system is a revolutionary and tailored approach to treating various foot types. For the past 10 years, inventor Roberta Nole, MA, PT, CPed has been treating and casting patients, evaluating symptoms, comparing gait, evaluating casts and fitting patients. She is the owner of Stride Custom Orthotics & Pedorthic Center specializing in biomechanical gait examination and rehabilitation of the foot and ankle. This research resulted in the creation of a patented clinical algorithm that identifies and categorizes a patient's feet into one of 24 foot-types. A patient's foot-type will influence not only their gait but the conditions and pathologies that afflict them throughout their lives.

The RX24 Quadrastep systems takes the concept a step further and simplifies the 24 foot-type medical model into six sub classifications known as quads that groups together four similar foot types. Each quad has its own very specific foot and gait characteristics. These foot types include severe pes cavus, mild pes planus, neutral, moderate pes planus, abductovarus forefoot and severe planovalgus feet. These six quad specific functional orthoses are biomehanically tailored to that of a true custom prescription. To provide superior patient education, a quad-specific information card is included with each pair that features possible clinical symptoms, key foot attributes, gait characteristics and more.

The RX Quadrastep system is easy to learn and can be quickly applied in a clinical setting. It also eliminates the need for costly and messy foot impressions that are often prone to error. The devices can be stocked in-house ready for immediate fitting. For the first time, clinicians can classify a patient's foot type and dispense prescription based orthoses within minutes. Providing affordable ready to wear orthoses with custom results just became possible.
