The uniqueness
of AposHealth®

Developed by orthopaedic and sports medicine specialists, AposHealth® treats knee osteoarthritis and other MSK pathologies by redistributing the pressure on the joints of the lower extremities, pelvis and spine.

Using a footworn biomechanical device, this non-invasive, medicine-free treatment program integrates with the patient’s normal routine and requires only about one hour of use daily. The patient is monitored throughout the course of their treatment program by an AposHealth® Certified Physiotherapist (ACPT). As the patient’s gait improves, the ACPT adjusts the device to stimulate continued gait improvement and pain relief.

How
AposHealth®
works

AposHealth® is a foot worn device that eases joint pain through the knee, lower back, hip and/ or ankle with its biomechanical technology by:

Reducing load on the painful areas and significantly reducing pain
Retraining the muscles, and ultimately correcting the abnormal walking patterns – even when not actively using the treatment

For many people who use it regularly, AposHealth® is like a reset button for the body.

AposHealth® harnesses biomechanics and neuromuscular training to enhance joint stability, appropriate muscle activation and proprioception, normalising gait patterns via a pain-reducing, effortless, at-home, cost-effective treatment programme.

The system is backed with extensive scientific and clinical evidence, showing significant improvement to patients’ pain and function levels by using the device for only around 60 minutes daily.

Clinically proven

AposHealth® is clinically proven to provide significant pain relief, optimise patients’ neuromuscular control and improve function^{3, 6-15}.

Easy-of-use encourages compliance

Offering an effortless programme, AposHealth® allows the patient to go about their regular routine while the AposHealth® treatment works in the background.

Clinical success

AposHealth®’s current NHS projects show excellent clinical outcomes for a population that would otherwise be candidates for total joint replacements.

Competitive advantage

The AposHealth® treatment is managed and monitored by a specially trained Apostherapy® Certified Physiotherapist (ACPT). The expert knowledge of the ACPT combined with the footworn device and easy, at-home treatment programme give AposHealth® providers a competitive advantage.

High patient satisfaction

Patient satisfaction surveys, both internally and independently done, consistently report high rates of patient satisfaction, with as much as 98% of patients saying they would recommend AposHealth® to friends and family¹.

The AposHealth®
treatment programme

4 easy steps

In-depth initial assessment

The AposHealth® treatment cycle begins with an AposHealth® Certified Physiotherapist (ACPT) conducting a free, in-depth assessment of the patient’s movement patterns, the root causes of their pain and the best approach to treatment. This consultation includes an examination and interview, questionnaires on pain, joint function and quality of life and a computerised gait analysis.

Individually-personalised therapy

Once the patient has been assessed, the ACPT assembles the AposHealth® footworn device, calibrates the under-sole pods to the specific patient’s needs and prescribes a personalised therapy programme for the patient.

Effortless at-home treatment

Wearing it for about an hour a day indoors, the patient can go about his or her daily schedule, while the shoes correct their walking patterns and relieve stress on the affected areas. Any side effects are minor and rare, which may manifest in mild fatigue and muscular ache. In cases where they appear, they pass very quickly as treatment progresses.

Ongoing monitoring
and optimisation

The AposHealth® treatment programme includes follow-up consultations and phone check-ups to assess the patient’s pain relief and function levels. The follow-up consultations include reviewing the objective markers performed during the initial consultation. Whenever necessary, the device is recalibrated, and the personalised therapy programme updated.

Backed by extensive clinical research

An independent double-blind randomised controlled study published in May 2020 by the peer-reviewed Journal of the American Medical Association showed that 92% of the patients treated with AposHealth® reported more than a 30% reduction in pain while 83% reported more than a 50% reduction in pain. Currently, over 50 peer-reviewed publications support the science behind AposHealth® as well as the clinical effect of AposHealth® in MSK conditions.

Covered by the NHS

The NHS strives to offer a better quality of healthcare while managing increasing budget constraints.

To address these challenges as related to musculoskeletal pathologies, there is an ever-growing need for innovative, cost-efficient and effective treatments and medical devices.

Currently working with a number of CCGs, AposHealth®’s business model for the NHS delivers a person-focused treatment regime, with outcomes that outperform current treatment options at lower cost.

NHS outcomes & cost benefits for MSK pathway

AposHealth®’s current NHS projects show good clinical outcomes for a population that would otherwise be candidates for total joint replacements.

Numerous AposHealth® patients report significant pain relief as early as their initial consultation when trying the AposHealth® device for the first time. The treatment has been thoroughly researched, with over 50 published papers including independent prospective studies – with further research in progress. According to clinical trials on knee OA patients, 87% experienced clinically significant pain relief^3,5,8 and 88% experienced improvement in mobility^3,5,8. And in a patient satisfaction survey done on NHS patients diagnosed with knee OA, 98% of patients said they would recommend the treatment to friends and family¹.

Having treated over 98,000 people worldwide, AposHealth® is available in the UK and is covered by several insurers.
It is registered with the FDA and CE marked by the EU. It is appropriate for patients of all ages, including the elderly.
Treating patients with AposHealth® with the aim of avoiding surgical options is cash-releasing and could significantly reduce direct cash spent.

How
AposHealth®
is different

AposHealth® doesn’t just treat pain in the legs and lower back, it treats the cause of the pain and its symptoms.

Compared with other options – such as painkillers, injections, surgery and orthotics, it is easy to appreciate the unique benefits of AposHealth®.
