Gait assessment equipment - plantar pressure plate is the use method and application range

The plantar pressure plate is a gait assessment device. By integrating high-density pressure sensors inside the pressure plate, it can sense the pressure distribution of various parts of the sole of the foot in contact with the plantar pressure plate in real time.

The measurement method of the plantar pressure plate is generally divided into three modes, namely static measurement, dynamic measurement, and balance measurement.

When measuring static, you only need to relax and stand still on the pressure plate naturally, and then click the test to test the static data report.

When measuring dynamic measurement, you need to walk back and forth on the pressure plate. The software will record different gait conditions, then perform data analysis, and display them in the form of charts.

When measuring balance, you can choose to stand still or shake your body according to the usage scenario.

Common application range of plantar pressure plates:

1. Application in the design and production of corrective insoles.

To make corrective insoles, accurate data is needed to be able to carry out personalized design and meet functional correction needs.

For accurate data, part of it needs to be obtained by a plantar scanner to obtain 3D data, which is convenient for importing into the design software. Part of the data needs to refer to the plantar pressure distribution of the pressure plate, and then analyze and design the parts that need to add support.

Relying on accurate data and professional analysis, we can design corrective insoles and corrective shoes that meet the needs of correcting high arches, flat feet, etc.

2. Application in school evaluation.

Children's foot shape is generally not yet finalized. Through batch screening, we can timely discover the existence of flat feet, high arches, inversion of the foot, eversion of the foot and other foot health problems.

Early detection and early correction may only require corrective insoles to achieve a relatively ideal effect.

Otherwise, after the foot bones are finalized, these defects of the foot are found, and surgery may be required to solve them.

3. Application in hospitals.

Especially in the foot department, gait analysis equipment can better help doctors evaluate the patient's foot recovery and carry out more appropriate rehabilitation recovery plans.

The plantar pressure plate can not only evaluate the health of the foot, but also help doctors provide a basis for judgment and improve efficiency.
