What can a foot scanner measure? How is it used in corrective insoles?

Foot scanner is an advanced foot measurement tool that can accurately measure foot morphology and related data through 3D scanning technology.

This device is mainly used in medicine, sports science and orthopedics, especially in the design and customization of corrective insoles.

Foot scanner can measure a variety of data, including basic morphological parameters such as foot length, width, height, etc., and can also analyze the arch height to determine whether the user has high arches, normal arches or flat feet.

Foot scanner can also analyze the asymmetry of the foot, such as whether the length of the left and right feet is consistent, whether there is a difference in the arch, and whether the heel is inverted or everted.

These data are crucial for the customization of corrective insoles. Some advanced foot scanners can even combine dynamic gait analysis functions to record the biomechanical parameters of the foot when walking or running, helping orthopedic experts to more comprehensively evaluate the health of the foot.

In the application of corrective insoles, foot scanners provide accurate data support, making the design of insoles more scientific and reasonable.

First, by scanning the user's foot shape, you can customize a corrective insole that is highly suitable for the individual's foot shape, avoid the traditional manual measurement errors, and improve comfort and correction effects.

Secondly, combined with the relevant data of the sole of the foot, the insole can be adjusted for different foot problems, such as increasing arch support, balancing pressure distribution, or improving gait stability.

For common foot problems such as flat feet, high arches, inversion of the foot, and eversion of the foot, the measurement results of the foot scanner can help experts accurately design correction solutions for insoles.

In addition, the data of the foot scanner can be directly used for 3D printing or CNC engraving machines to make insoles, realizing true personalized customization.

3D printing technology can produce insoles with specific support areas and buffer structures based on foot scanning data to meet the needs of different groups of people, such as athletes, the elderly, and diabetics. This digital production method not only improves the accuracy of the insole, but also reduces the errors of traditional manual production and improves production efficiency
