Orthopedic Insoles for Children and Teenagers

The prices for NUMO orthopedic shoe insoles are CHF 260.30 for children up to six years old and CHF 369.70 for children up to twelve years old. From age 13, the full price is CHF 410.80.

This includes a fitting appointment, the first check-up within three months after delivery of the insoles, and a three-month adjustment guarantee.

We also recommend a running and gait analysis, which costs CHF 133.– (for teenagers up to 16 years old).

Shoe insoles can usually be billed through supplementary insurance. However, it is worth checking in advance. Running and gait analyses are rarely covered. We recommend clarifying the cost coverage directly with the health insurance in advance. The service providers SUVA, accident, and military insurance usually cover the costs for orthopedic insoles if there is a medical prescription. However, running and gait analyses in connection with the supply of insoles are not covered by SUVA, accident, or military insurance, even if they are medically prescribed.

The running and gait analysis for children takes about 45 minutes and is conducted at NUMO in Dietikon on the treadmill.

The running and gait analysis at NUMO in Dietikon includes the following points:

• Static assessment of the feet, knee, hip, and spine axes on the mirror table
• Video analysis on the treadmill to assess the dynamic rolling behavior of the foot and the mechanical force transmission to the knee, hip, and pelvis when walking or jogging
• Oral explanation of the video images, including a copy for you
• Measurement of dynamic pressure distribution using Materialise® Footscan

Children and teenagers under 18 must bring frequently worn everyday, work, or sports shoes and a signed consent form from their guardians to an appointment.
