What are the uses of plantar pressure testing? What are the application scenarios of the plantar pre

‍Plantar pressure test is to test the pressure changes and distribution data of various parts of the sole of the foot when a person is standing still, walking and other states through a plantar pressure analyzer.

What are the functions of plantar pressure measurement?

1. Evaluate foot abnormalities such as flat feet and high arches.

Many foot problems, such as flat feet and high arches, will have certain abnormal manifestations in plantar pressure.

Through the plantar pressure distribution data, doctors and rehabilitation therapists can quickly evaluate existing foot health problems such as flat feet.

In many plantar pressure analyzers, their measurement reports also directly analyze and display possible foot problems for people's reference.


2. Provide reliable data for customized orthotic insoles.

Flat feet, high arches, diabetic feet and other foot conditions often need to be assisted and corrected with orthotic insoles.

The production of orthotic insoles requires not only a foot 3D scanner to obtain three-dimensional data, but also a plantar pressure analyzer to obtain plantar pressure distribution data and other information. With these data, the plantar pressure and supporting force can be redistributed in a more scientific and reasonable way, making the produced insoles have a better correction effect and protect our foot health more effectively.

3. Identify high-risk areas to prevent the occurrence of foot ulcers.

When the peak pressure in certain areas of our sole remains excessively high for a long time, it is easy to induce foot diseases such as ulcers.

After measuring the plantar pressure, we can achieve early detection and early prevention, avoid the occurrence of foot health problems such as foot ulcers, and identify potential diabetic feet in advance for early intervention, so as to promote the positive development of foot health.

4. Improve athletic performance.

In the field of sports and training, athletes often suffer from poor athletic performance and sports injuries due to irregular movements when running, jumping, playing basketball, playing football and doing other sports.

Through plantar pressure testing, we can understand the force application mode of each athlete, timely detect existing force application errors and correct them in a timely manner, which can not only improve athletic performance, but also reduce the occurrence of physical injuries.

5. Applied in the fall prevention health management of the elderly.

Fall prevention is a very important topic for the elderly group.

The balance ability of the elderly gradually weakens, and they are prone to falls and other problems.

Through plantar pressure testing, we can know the elderly's problems such as weak balance ability in advance, and adopt scientific training and other intervention measures in a timely manner to improve the elderly's balance ability, reduce the occurrence of falls, and better protect the health and safety of the elderly.
