What are the functions and most common uses of plantar pressure plates?

The plantar pressure plate is a system for testing plantar pressure distribution. It integrates high-density pressure sensors inside, which can collect pressure data of various parts of the plantar when the human body passes by in real time, and use dynamic analysis software to process and visualize the data.

The plantar pressure distribution system is widely used in many fields such as medicine, footwear, scientific research and sports training. The main uses include:

Medical and rehabilitation assessment: It can be used in hospitals and rehabilitation institutions to help evaluate the plantar force and gait characteristics, such as diagnosing flat feet, high arches, diabetic feet and other foot abnormalities.

Rehabilitation training guidance: It assists doctors in formulating personalized foot rehabilitation and training plans, and can be used for continuous tracking and optimization to improve rehabilitation effects.

Neuromuscular disease monitoring: Gait monitoring of patients with cerebral palsy, Parkinson’s disease, etc. helps doctors evaluate the progression of the disease.

Customization of orthopedic insoles and orthopedic shoes: Based on plantar pressure data, correction designers can accurately create personalized orthopedic insoles and orthopedic shoes to improve correction effects.

Gait adjustment and biomechanical optimization: used to analyze foot biomechanical parameters, optimize gait adjustment strategies, and improve walking comfort and stability.

Athlete training and injury prevention: In the field of sports training, it can be used to assess the risk of athlete injury and develop personalized training programs for them to optimize sports performance.

Footwear design optimization: Improve footwear design through plantar pressure data, which is widely used in high-end customized shoes to improve comfort, support and wearing experience.

Functional shoe research and development: Based on a large amount of plantar pressure data, develop functional shoes suitable for different groups of people, such as anti-slip shoes for the elderly and children’s growth shoes.

Scientific research and gait research: Applied to gait pattern analysis, footwear and insole research and development, as well as walking experiments and sports biomechanics research.

With its precise data collection and analysis capabilities, plantar pressure plates play an important role in medical rehabilitation, sports science, footwear research and development, and provide scientific support for foot health.
