Flatfoot measuring instrument – foot 3D scanner user guide
I. Core operation process
Equipment and environment preparation
Hardware check: Confirm that the scanner lens is clean, the power connection is stable, and complete the equipment calibration to ensure measurement accuracy.
Environment setting: Choose an indoor environment with uniform light to avoid strong light or shadows interfering with the scanning results.
Test subject preparation
Take off shoes and socks and clean your feet to ensure that there is no dirt or foreign matter on the soles of your feet.
Choose a standing position (weight-bearing state to detect arch collapse) or a sitting position (non-weight-bearing state to measure the static shape of the foot) according to your needs.
Scan execution
Put your feet flat on the scanning area, maintain a natural and relaxed posture, and avoid muscle tension.
After starting the device, the scanner completes the acquisition of the foot 3D model in 5-20 seconds through structured light/laser technology.
Data processing and output
The software automatically generates a 3D model and analyzes key indicators such as arch height ratio (AHI), sole contact area, and heel inversion and inversion angle.
The data can be exported as a 3D print file or medical report for corrective insoles for customized treatment plans.
2. Core functions and advantages
Accurate diagnosis of flat feet
Measure the arch height with millimeter-level accuracy to distinguish between mild/moderate/severe flat feet, replacing the traditional wet foot print method. Non-invasive and efficient
No need to touch or wear sensors, complete the full foot scan within 20 seconds, suitable for children and sensitive people
Support batch screening, a single device can detect 100-400 people per day
Data visualization and compatibility
The generated 3D model can be rotated 360° for observation, and abnormal areas (such as arch collapse and calcaneal valgus) are marked.
The data can be connected to the hospital HIS system or corrective insole design software to achieve integrated diagnosis and treatment
3. Application scenarios
Medical institutions: Orthopedics/rehabilitation departments of tertiary hospitals are used for flat foot screening, and correction plans are formulated in combination with gait analysis.
Sports medicine: Analyze the force on athletes’ feet, optimize running shoe selection or customize sports correction insoles.
Children’s health management: Regularly monitor children’s foot development to prevent problems such as scoliosis caused by flat feet.
4. Precautions
Equipment maintenance
Calibrate optical components every quarter to avoid measurement errors caused by equipment offset.
Clean the scanning table after scanning to prevent sweat or dandruff residue from affecting subsequent detection accuracy.
Adaptation for special populations
Children need to be accompanied by their parents to calm their emotions and ensure a stable posture.
Patients with severe foot deformities or open wounds are recommended to use non-contact scanning mode.
The three-dimensional foot scanner can quickly obtain accurate foot data, provide a scientific basis for flat foot correction, and is suitable for medical, sports and health management fields.
