Evidence Based Orthotic Interventions

We work with both practitioners and university educators to advance the understanding of orthotic therapy.
Our goal is greater reliability, repeatability and predictability in both manufacture and clinical application.

Performance Through Scientific Research

Our 17 year commitment to orthotic design and manufacturing is based on scientific research and clinical feedback - leading to better outcomes for patients and practitioners.

Dedication to University Research & Education

Committed to financing and resourcing research and education programs to facilitate deeper understanding of how biomechanical principles can be applied to orthotic design.

The education program is pivotal to learning and understanding the framework and structure under which Kinetic Orthotic Therapy can be prescribed.

World's first and only clinical data prescription system, unique to us! Our research and product development is based on scientific data, clinical evidence and the latest developments in biomechanical theory.

Why Kinetic is the future of orthotic design?

As podiatrists, we all strive to achieve the best possible outcomes for our patients.

Typically, it has proved challenging to achieve consistent outcomes using traditional orthotic interventions, which is why industry-leading podiatrist Dan Everson has spent decades undertaking extensive clinical research and consultation with experienced podiatrists and universities.

While traditional orthotics are designed to block excessive pronation, Dan identified that this can also see them act as functional blockers. Determined to find a more consistent, evidence-based solution, Dan looked beyond traditional orthotic design, focusing on more than just contour and frontal plane alignment parameters.

His innovative Kinetic Orthotics works by optimising the efficiency of the gait cycle.

Using his patent-protected Kinnetic Method, podiatrists can undertake a series of key kinetic tests and observations, effectively analysing three key criteria – force, morphology and function. Individualised orthotics can then be produced for each patient, optimising the way in which muscular energy is transferred in the gait cycle.

This ultimately improves mobility and decreases any pathology related to biomechanical inefficiency. Most importantly, it reduces variability in patient outcomes.

Dan and the Kinetic Orthotics team are dedicated to helping more Australians move without pain, and partner with podiatrists across the country to harness this world-first technology.
