3D laser scanner on the sole of the foot measures the arch height to evaluate flat feet and high arc

2025-05-28

This is not only a "foot measuring" instrument, it is more like a foot expert who understands anatomy and biomechanics. It accurately evaluates the height of the arch and scientifically determines whether you have flat feet, high arches, or just right.

01 Arch structure determines your "foot luck"

The arch is like a "natural shock absorber" on the sole of the human foot. A normal arch can relieve the impact force when walking and keep the body stable and balanced. Once the arch collapses (flat feet) or is raised too high (high arch), it is easy to have:

Walking is laborious and easy to get tired

Shoes do not fit well and often rub the feet

Tight calves and knees are prone to pain

Even affecting the spine and posture

Seemingly minor structural problems are often the source of chain reactions in the body.

02 3D laser scanner, a "magnifying glass" for arch measurement

So, how does the sole 3D laser scanner evaluate the height of the arch? Simply put, it can complete the 3D stereo modeling of the entire sole of the foot in a few seconds through high-precision laser projection and multi-angle photography sensing system.

This device does not just measure "foot length and width", it can accurately restore:

Vertical height of the arch

Contact area between the sole and the ground

Curve structure of the instep

After summarizing these data, the system will automatically generate an arch assessment report, compare your foot shape with the standard data, accurately determine whether it is flat foot or high arch, and quantify its degree.

03 More scientific than "looking", more in-depth than "measuring"

Compared with traditional methods, the advantages of 3D laser scanners are very obvious:

Millimeter-level accuracy: the error of arch height can be controlled within ±0.5mm

Synchronous comparison of left and right feet: Identify the often overlooked "high and low feet" problem

Dynamic evaluation support: Combine standing and walking data to restore the foot state more realistically

Visual modeling: Use 3D models to present each foot detail, and the report is clear at a glance

This is not only suitable for ordinary users' self-health management, but also a valuable technical aid for athletes, the elderly, teenagers, and users of custom insoles.

04 Application scenarios, covering everything from hospitals to stores

In rehabilitation and physiotherapy institutions, doctors can use this to determine whether the arch function is abnormal and develop orthopedic training or rehabilitation plans

In professional shoe customization stores, designers can refer to the arch data to match the shoe last shape, achieving true "private customization"

In sports science centers, scanners help assess sports injury risks and provide a scientific basis for shoe selection and training methods

Technology has made "foot measurement" no longer a rough measurement, but an entrance to health services.
