Foot Analysis in Nowa Ortopedia
About the clinic
Computer foot analysis at Nowa Ortopedia in Kraków, Poland, provides a detailed assessment of foot pressure and gait mechanics. The diagnostic typically runs around 240 PLN (approximately $60), covering both the examination and a physiotherapy consultation. The clinic uses the longest pressure-sensitive mat in the region, which allows for a more natural measurement of your walking pattern.
Advanced Foot Diagnostics
This examination identifies how your feet distribute weight while you stand and move. The specialized 240 cm mat detects limb load asymmetry, specific overload zones, and gait angles. It also measures step length, stance-phase timing, and balance. These results help in creating custom orthotic insoles and selecting the right footwear for daily use or sports.
Examination Process and Equipment
The diagnostic uses a baropodometric mat set directly into the floor. The assessment includes three distinct stages to provide a complete picture of foot function:
- Static test. You stand freely on the mat for about 10–30 seconds to measure resting pressure.
- Dynamic walk. You walk naturally across the mat to capture ground reaction forces during movement.
- Stabilometric measurement. The system tracks your body's sway to assess balance and proprioception.
Patient Preparation and Consultation
Patients should bring shorts and a close-fitting top for the appointment. It is helpful to provide any previous medical documentation or imaging results related to musculoskeletal issues. Dr. Maciej Olszewski, a physiotherapist and trainer, performs the analysis. The clinic provides English-speaking specialists to assist international patients during the visit.
Indications for Analysis
This test serves runners at risk of overload and patients undergoing treatment for foot, knee, hip, or spine conditions. It is also used for children with postural defects and individuals with diabetes or neurological disorders. The data collected allows for objective monitoring of your physiotherapy progress over time. You can request a consultation at Nowa Ortopedia through Bookimed.

Nowa Ortopedia: more details about the clinic
Specialized Orthopedic Care
The clinic treats a wide range of musculoskeletal conditions through its orthopedic and traumatology departments. Surgeons use minimally invasive techniques to speed recovery and reduce tissue damage.
- Arthroscopic knee surgery performed through 2–4 portals
- ACL reconstruction using the Internal Bracing reinforcement method
- Treatment for meniscus tears, including bucket-handle and complex radial tears
- Foot and ankle surgery for hallux valgus and plantar fasciitis
- Shoulder arthroscopy for instability and rotator cuff repair
Specialists focus on functional restoration by pairing surgery with immediate rehabilitation. Each surgical plan includes targeted physiotherapy to maintain long-term joint stability.
Hand Surgery and Neurosurgery
The facility offers advanced treatment for nerve compression and chronic hand disorders. Specialists perform endoscopic carpal tunnel release through smaller incisions. This allows faster return to activity, and the entire hospital stay typically lasts one hour.
- Microsurgical decompression of the median nerve
- Ultrasound-guided injections for De Quervain's disease
- Surgical management of trigger finger and Dupuytren's contracture
- Neurosurgical care for herniated discs and spinal stenosis
Most hand procedures use local anesthesia and absorbable sutures. This approach removes the need for casting or long-term immobilization in most cases.
Regenerative Medicine and Stem Cell Therapy
Nowa Ortopedia uses multipotent cells (MSCC/BMA) to treat degenerative joint diseases and sports injuries. These cells come from the patient's own bone marrow or adipose tissue. The clinic uses Hyalofast, a hyaluronic membrane that serves as a scaffold for stem cells during cartilage repair.
This regenerative approach targets early-stage arthrosis and partial ligament injuries. Multipotent cells are also given during tendon repairs to support natural tissue healing.
Pediatric Orthopedics
The hospital has a specialized unit for children's orthopedic and traumatology needs. Diagnostic services include infant hip ultrasound to screen for dysplasia. The team manages various developmental and acquired conditions in young patients:
- Limb-axis deformities such as varus and valgus
- Perthes disease and femoral head slippage
- Sports injuries and trauma in pediatric patients
At least one pediatric specialist provides consultations in English for international families.
Advanced Diagnostic and Recovery Technology
The clinic uses professional assessment tools to monitor progress and refine treatment plans. Diagnostic capabilities include digital X-ray, CT scans, and baropodometry to assess foot pressure distribution.
- Biodex System for isokinetic muscle strength assessment
- Keiser Functional Trainer for rehabilitation
- Game Ready cold compression system for post-op recovery
- Stryker HD arthroscopy columns for high-definition surgical imaging
- Woodway treadmill with high cushioning for gait training
The physiotherapy department also offers HI-TOP energotonic therapy. This advanced electrotherapy helps manage pain and stimulates tissue recovery.
Services for International Patients
The hospital supports patients traveling from abroad through specialized digital systems. English-speaking specialists are available in several departments, including orthopedics and pediatrics. The facility offers online video consultations for patients who live far from Kraków. For those unable to travel, the rehabilitation team can provide home visits within the local area.
