Extracorporeal Shock Wave Therapy (ESWT)
The ESWT uses huge sound waves generated by electro-hydraulic pressure, electromagnetic or electrical waves by the machine within a short time to stimulate healing of some physical disorders.
The energy carried by the shock waves can focus the pressure and energy on the tissue requiring therapy via particular media to stimulate the metabolism, circulation, repair and regeneration of micro fracture, micro hematoma, skeleton and soft tissue and to relieve pain.
High-dosage shock waves can mesh skeletal and soft tissue calcification and lithiasis. The shock waves are used in medical treatment based on these theories.

Footscan Systems
The Footscan Systems refer to the dynamic food pressure measuring systems developed by Belgium RS Scan International.
They can dynamically scan the pressure distribution of the heel, sole, toes and interior/exterior of the foot at 500Hz/second, the fastest in the world.
These include the detailed measurements, calculations, and records of the dynamic changes of the foot pressure from when the heel touches the ground to when the toes leave the ground.
These advanced foot pressure measuring and inside-shoe pressure-measuring systems have been widely applied to the areas of orthopedics, PT & rehabilitation, sports medicine, gait analysis, biomechanics, etc.
With the precise measuring results, specialists can calculate the position and force of foot motion at every instant to plan soles suitable for individuals.
This is very useful to gait correction and help people walk and run more easily.
