The plantar 3D scanner usually performs non-contact measurement of the human foot by laser scanning and other methods.
So, are the results of the plantar 3D scanner accurate?
Generally speaking, the data measured by the plantar 3D scanner is much more accurate than the traditional measurement method.
The results of the plantar 3D scanner can reach an accuracy of about 0.5mm.
In addition, the error of the measurement result is generally related to the following factors.
1. The standing method of scanning.
If it is a standing scan, it can better reflect the real foot bearing state, especially for the application of corrective insole design.
If it is a sitting or suspended scan, it is easy to eliminate the deformation caused by weight, which cannot objectively reflect the data of the real load state.
Therefore, it is recommended to scan and measure by standing.
2. Look at the scanning environment.
If it is in a strong light environment, it is easy to cause inaccurate data.
It is recommended to check and measure in an environment with uniform lighting as much as possible to avoid interference from strong light.
In addition, keep your feet dry.
If there is sweat on your feet, it is recommended to wait for the sweat to dry or wipe it off with a dry towel or paper towel first, and keep your feet dry before measuring.
During the measurement process, it is best to be guided and supervised by a professional, so that the measured data will be more scientific and accurate.
