What are the functions of a plantar pressure distribution system?

The plantar pressure distribution system utilizes thousands of high-sensitivity pressure sensors built into a pressure plate to sense data such as the pressure distribution of various parts of the sole in real time when a person passes over it.

The plantar pressure distribution system is commonly applied in fields such as medical rehabilitation, sports performance, and custom insoles/custom shoes.

The common specific applications of the plantar pressure distribution system are as follows:

1. Evaluating foot health conditions such as flat feet, high arches, heel valgus, heel varus, and hallux valgus.

2. Detecting whether there is leg length discrepancy, whether there is asymmetrical force bearing on both legs, and whether there is a serious deviation of the center of gravity.

3. Judging whether there is a risk of diabetic foot through high-pressure points on the sole, and achieving a preventive effect by dispersing pressure through means such as corrective insoles.

4. Conducting postoperative rehabilitation assessment. After foot-related surgeries, plantar pressure is measured; through the measured data, the postoperative recovery status can be known, and the next step of the plan can be planned through specific measurement data, making the plan achieve the best treatment effect.


5. For symptoms such as heel pain, plantar fasciitis, and ankle joint pain, through the test of plantar pressure distribution, finding the overloaded stress area and the root cause of pain according to the measured data, and conducting corresponding treatment.

6. Conducting the design of custom insoles and custom shoes through the data measured by plantar pressure distribution.

7. In the field of sports, through measuring gait data such as plantar impact force and pressure center of gravity trajectory under states such as running and jumping, conducting data analysis to identify abnormal stress patterns, and targetedly changing the force generation method through data to correct force generation habits, thereby improving sports performance and preventing sports injuries.

8. In the field of shoe manufacturing, through adopting plantar pressure distribution data of various different groups of people and conducting massive data analysis, designing shoes and insoles that fit the foot shapes of the public.

9. Applied in the development of special functional shoes and insoles, such as anti-slip and decompression shoes for the elderly, special shoes for diabetic foot, corrective insoles for children, and corrective shoes.

10. Conducting children's development screening. Through measuring the pressure of children's feet and the changes in measurement data at different age stages, possible foot problems can be discovered in time, and timely correction can be achieved to avoid abnormal skeletal development.

11. Through the measurement of the plantar pressure distribution system, evaluating balance ability according to the swing range of the center of gravity, thereby conducting fall prevention assessment and conducting corresponding rehabilitation training.
