Strengths of the Technology
• Toolless production
• No upfront investment
• Design changes are for free
• (Almost) unlimited freeform
• Limitation is mainly in mind of designer
• The higher the complexity, the better

Risk Category % % of injuries in 7
weeks
High 18.6 56.5
Medium 21.4 30.4
Low 60 13
Decrease of injuries after 14 weeks :
translated in less days out
The prescription and application of the
D3D® orthotics reduced the injury rate
(ARR) by :
- 66 % in subjects with a high injury risk
and with
- 31 % over all categories.
