The plantar 3D scanner can measure plantar data and evaluate foot health.
For example, it can evaluate foot problems such as flat feet and high arches.
Based on the function of evaluating flat feet, the plantar 3D scanner can also be called a flat foot measuring device.
There are many ways to measure flat feet, such as the following:
- Direct observation method.
(1) The tester stands on absorbent paper.
Then observe the footprints left by the tester.
If it is a normal arch, there will be a relatively obvious inner blank area on the footprint.
If it is flat feet, there will be almost no blank area in the footprint area.
(2) Directly observe the patient’s feet with your eyes.
Experienced doctors or foot rehabilitation therapists often only need to simply check the feet to determine whether it is flat feet.
This mainly relies on rich experience.
If the doctor is not very experienced, it is difficult to make a relatively accurate judgment.
- Imaging examination.
(1) X-ray examination.
This method is to take an X-ray of the patient’s foot to evaluate the foot and determine whether it is flat feet.
(2) Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) or computed tomography (CT)
This is also scanned by equipment, mainly to check the state of the soft tissue of the foot to evaluate flat feet.
- Measurement and evaluation through a foot scanner.
The plantar scanner is a non-invasive, high-precision measurement device.
It usually takes only 5-20 seconds for the tester to stand on the scanner. It can not only measure multiple foot dimensions and related data.
It can also intuitively view the three-dimensional information of the foot.
At the same time, relevant reports can be exported, and the report will show whether it is flat feet.
The basis for the report judgment is also based on the accurate data measured by the plantar scanner.
