The application of gait analysis equipment in the field of customized insoles has formed a systematic technical support system, and its core value is reflected in the following five aspects:
1. Accurate data collection and foot mechanics analysis
Through built-in sensors, pressure plates and motion capture technology, dynamic parameters such as plantar pressure distribution, cadence, and stride length during walking or running are recorded in real time, breaking through the limitations of traditional static foot scanning.
For example, a three-dimensional gait analyzer can generate a plantar pressure heat map and accurately identify abnormal pressure areas (such as the high-pressure area on the inside of a flat foot).
2. Design of personalized correction schemes
Based on biomechanical data, customized differentiated support structures are used for abnormal gait characteristics such as arch collapse, inversion and pronation: high-cushioning materials are used in high-pressure areas, and rigid materials are added in low-support areas to achieve pressure redistribution.
Clinical verification shows that such customized insoles can reduce the incidence of foot ulcers in diabetic patients by 42%.
3. Dynamic adaptation and material optimization
Combined with IMU sensors to continuously monitor the changes in foot force in different sports scenarios (such as running and climbing), the layered structure of the insole is dynamically adjusted. Athlete tests show that dynamic adaptive insoles can reduce the risk of sports injuries by 27%.
4. Full-cycle health management
Establish a closed-loop service from prevention to rehabilitation: Children’s arch development files continue to track foot growth, and postoperative patients monitor rehabilitation progress and adjust insole support strength through gait data. Smart insoles are linked with health management platforms to achieve real-time warning of abnormal gait.
5. Industry upgrade promotion
Upgrade traditional footwear manufacturing to “foot health solutions” and enhance brand premium capabilities through foot inspection and shoe matching services. The functional insoles developed by sports brands based on gait data have a repurchase rate of more than 60% higher than ordinary insoles.
