Foot shape measurement method – plantar scanner can easily measure foot shape
1. Working principle
Based on optical imaging or 3D scanning technology, the plantar scanner can quickly capture 3D data of the foot through non-contact measurement.
Users can stand or sit on the device and obtain detailed information such as foot length, foot width, arch height, etc. in just a few seconds, and generate a visual 3D model.
2. Core measurement items
Morphological parameters: foot length, foot width, forefoot/heel width, arch height (unit: mm).
Angle data: heel angle, hallux valgus angle (unit: °).
Functional evaluation: arch type (such as flat foot, high arch foot) and potential foot problem analysis.
3. Operation steps
Preparation phase: Take off shoes and socks, ensure that the device is stable, and place the feet in the designated position when the user is standing or sitting, with the center of gravity evenly distributed.
Data collection: The device automatically scans the foot and generates a foot model in real time.
Result output: Generate detailed reports including foot shape features, support personalized design of insoles or shoes.
4. Application scenarios
Medical rehabilitation: Assist doctors in formulating orthopedic plans, such as customized insoles or corrective devices.
Sports science: Optimize athletes’ equipment selection and reduce the risk of sports injuries.
Footwear retail: Quickly match shoes and improve shopping experience.
Health management: Screen for foot abnormalities (such as flat feet, arch collapse) and provide preventive suggestions.
5. Technical advantages
Accurate and efficient: The error is less than 0.5mm, and the whole foot scan is completed in seconds.
Non-invasive and convenient: No contact or complex operation is required, suitable for people of different ages.
Through the plantar scanner, users can quickly grasp the health status of their feet and provide a scientific basis for personalized wear, realizing the upgrade from “passive adaptation” to “active customization”.
