The Laxiped Project, led by the Centre ASSAL research team, in collaboration with Quentin Praz and Spyridon Schoinas and supported by Fongit, has been awarded CHF 110,000 by Innosuisse!

The Laxiped device aims to facilitate the diagnosis of instability of the first ray, which is implicated in the development of numerous foot pathologies, such as Hallux Valgus, Hallux Rigidus, metatarsalgia and flat feet.

The most accurate results to date have been obtained with this measurement system, which provides an objective measure of first-radius instability. Laxiped can be used to guide the type of treatment and surgical modalities to be adopted. It is also used to measure first radius stabilization following an Hallux Valgus correction.

We're delighted to take part in this project, which aims to improve patient care in the field of foot and ankle surgery!
