QUADRASTEP SYSTEM

You Asked for It! New Waiting Room Slideshows for QUADRASTEPS® and littleSTEPS®

Posted by casey1313 on in Educational, Foot Typing, littleSTEPS, QUADRASTEP SYSTEM 0 Comment

We have had a great response from all of you to our QUADRASTEPS® and littleSTEPS® waiting room video. I have received several requests for individual videos for either QUADRASTEPS® or littleSTEPS® standalone videos, and they are now available on our website graphics download page https://nolaro24.com/graphics.html (bottom left).

They are both reasonably short videos that you can loop on a monitor in your waiting room or exam room to give your patients more info on the benefits of using QUADRASTEPS® or littleSTEPS® for themselves or their child. They are sprinkled with a few fun facts and some testimonials from patients and parents on how they have benefited from their foot orthotics.

If you haven’t gotten a video going in your waiting or exam rooms yet, it can be a great tool for letting your patients know what kinds of products you have available, as well as entertaining them while they wait. It can get them to ask you questions and get the conversation going on treatment options.

DOWNLOAD the FREE videos today and let you patients know that you carry QUADRASTEPS® foot orthotics for adults or littleSTEPS® foot orthotics for kids!

Praise for the Biomechanics & Orthotics Master Class:

Posted by casey1313 on in Educational, Foot Typing, littleSTEPS, QUADRASTEP SYSTEM 0 Comment

“Whether you’ve heard Louis and/or Roberta speak or not, this is one of the best and practical programs regarding biomechanics and orthotics you’ll hear anywhere, any time. Easy to understand, easy to translate to your patients, easy to implement in your practice. Guaranteed you won’t/can’t sleep through the lectures. They’re entertaining and informative, not dry biomechanics, they’re paced well, and Louis might call you out if he catches you sleeping or checking your smartphone. If you have the time, don’t miss it! If you don’t have the time, make the time–you won’t regret it!” – Brandon Macy, DPM

 

“Great conference. Worth your time. Reignited my passion for biomechanics. Hit the ground running right after the conference!” – Nick Pagano, DPM

 

“The seminar that we attended in Orlando in December has proven quite beneficial for my practice. The QUADRASTEP method is now being instituted within my practice as a first-line of care and practically all situations.

Roberta’s knowledge along with Dr. DeCaro’s experience with biomechanics made this one of the best biomechanical workshops I’ve attended. In school and residency, we were so focused on surgical correction that much was lost in the very nature of the foot as an integral part of the very nature of human mechanics.

I would recommend the QUADRASTEP SYSTEM wholeheartedly to all of my colleagues as a much better and responsible device for patients to use for a multitude of pathologies. The patients I have a used them on are more satisfied, there are very few if any returns, and we are getting family involved in getting QUADRASTEPS for other family members.

My next plan is to arrange a small workshop at the hospital where I work most of the time and educate the OR nurses on the importance of good mechanical of footwear.

Thank you so much for your lecture series. Am I firmly believe that the information that was provided Is far superior then I receive it most medical conferences. That CMEs are not authorized for this is surprising, in that the conference is so educational.” – Chris Bryant, DPM

Are you an A Quad?

Posted by casey1313 on in Educational, Foot Typing, QUADRASTEP SYSTEM 0 Comment


The A QUAD Foot-Type is commonly thought of as an over-supinated or severe Pes Cavus foot. This condition, also known as a Torque Foot, occurs when a Uncompensated Rearfoot Varus is coupled with a Large Rigid Forefoot Valgus.

We fondly refer to the A QUAD Foot-Type as our “chandelier shakers”! Why? Because this foot-type loads heavily on the ground and never seems to pronate, leading to poor shock attenuation.

The development of heel and lower back pain is common. The torque foot nature of this foot-type allows the valgus forefoot to offset the uncompensated inverted heel alignment that would normally lead to a toe out gait pattern (see C Quad foot-type). Overall, the foot progression angle for this person is such that the feet point relatively straight ahead during gait (no toe out) with a narrow base of support, much like a tight rope walker.

For more complete information on the A QUAD including videos, see our A QUAD page.

All QUADRASTEP Orthotics are available in Regular and Narrow Widths, and with a topcover an an additional charge. For more information see nolaro24.com
