How an Orthotic Assessment Works

Our clinical assessment process aligns with HPCSA standards and SAOPA billing guidelines to ensure precise device fabrication and seamless medical aid claims processing.

01Referral Review & Medical History: Review of doctor referral letters, surgical notes, and clinical medical history.
02Physical & Biomechanical Examination: Muscle strength testing, joint range-of-motion, and neuro-musculoskeletal assessment.
03Gait Analysis & Measurements: Observational gait analysis and precise plaster casting, anatomical measurements, or 3D digital scanning.
04Treatment Plan & Pre-Authorisation: Selecting appropriate device codes aligned with SAOPA rates and submitting pre-authorisation to your medical scheme.
05Precision Fitting & Alignment: Custom device fitting, skin contact inspection, strap adjustment, and functional gait trial.
06Follow-up & Rehabilitation Review: Routine follow-up visits to evaluate device comfort, wear patterns, and biomechanical efficacy.

Comprehensive Assessment & Referral Information

The choice of a custom or off-the-shelf orthotic device depends strictly on a thorough clinical examination, biomechanical evaluation, and diagnostic findings.

Because Medical Orthotists & Prosthetists operate as allied healthcare specialists, a formal referral letter from a qualified medical practitioner (GP, Orthopaedic Surgeon, Neurologist, Paediatrician, or Physiotherapist) is required for consultation and to submit clinical pre-authorisation requests to major South African medical aids (including Discovery, GEMS, Bonitas, and Momentum).
