Product Description

A simple, comprehensive and proven means to classify the foot and its structure remains an invaluable and sought-after tool. Scientists, clinicians and even individuals desire the benefit of a measurement technique that is both user-friendly and effective. Whether the purpose is to predict the likelihood of foot and lower extremity injury, or to merely optimize choice of footwear to foot type, the Arch Height Index Measurement System (AHIMS) provides a clinically-proven, reliable and valid method to characterize foot structure.

The AHIMS reproducibly and reliably provides data that can readily be translated into a robust and meaningful set of values. The Arch Height Index (AHI) is a numerical interpretation of foot type, calculated using six measurements, easily obtained using the AHIMS and a standard scale. By evaluating these measures across two states of weight bearing, the System allows for a dynamic characterization of the medial longitudinal arch which promises to facilitate further correlations to foot mechanics and injury pattern. Additionally, the nature of manufacturing for the AHIMS allows for a limitless number of custom functionalities to be added to the base model.
