The plantar pressure analysis system has the following significance in children’s gait analysis examination:
1. Early screening of gait abnormalities and developmental problems
Identify foot structure abnormalities
Through static and dynamic tests, the system can accurately detect problems such as asymmetric plantar pressure distribution, arch collapse (flat feet), and inversion and inversion of the foot, helping to detect abnormal foot development at an early stage.
Evaluate gait parameters
Parameters such as cadence, stride, and foot deviation can be quantitatively analyzed, and combined with dynamic gait video capture, abnormal gait characteristics such as inward/outward toe gait and insufficient ankle joint stability can be identified.
2. Support disease diagnosis and rehabilitation evaluation
Assist in neuromuscular disease diagnosis
For diseases such as spastic cerebral palsy, the system can objectively evaluate gait balance disorders by analyzing indicators such as gait cycle time, single-foot support ratio, and plantar pressure center of gravity deviation trajectory, providing data support for diagnosis.
Monitor rehabilitation progress
By comparing the pressure distribution before and after intervention, the effects of rehabilitation methods such as orthopedic insoles and physical therapy can be evaluated, and the plan can be adjusted dynamically.
3. Guide personalized health management
Develop correction plans
Based on the plantar pressure distribution and biomechanical assessment results, targeted shoe selection, foot exercise and other plans can be designed to prevent secondary problems such as scoliosis and knee joint injuries caused by abnormal gait.
Optimize sports ability
By analyzing the pressure load distribution during exercise, scientific sports training suggestions are provided for children to improve gait coordination and sports efficiency.
4. Prevention of long-term health risks
Reduce the risk of chronic injuries
Early detection of local high-pressure areas on the sole of the foot (such as excessive pressure on the forefoot or heel) can prevent chronic injuries such as plantar fasciitis and corpus callosum formation.
Prevent systemic compensation problems
By correcting abnormal gait, systemic posture compensation problems such as pelvic tilt and high and low shoulders caused by mechanical imbalance of the foot are reduced.
In summary, the system provides a scientific basis for the full-cycle management of “early screening-diagnosis-intervention” of children’s foot and spine health through quantitative analysis and visualization of data, and has both clinical diagnosis and treatment and health promotion value.
