As a biomechanical testing device, the core functions of the plantar pressure analyzer cover the following areas:
1. Medical diagnosis and disease screening
Foot disease diagnosis: Through static/dynamic pressure distribution detection, auxiliary diagnosis of foot structural abnormalities such as diabetic foot, flat foot, inversion/extroversion, high arch foot, etc.
Gait abnormality identification: Analyze the plantar pressure distribution and gait parameters (such as step length, stride, and landing method) during walking, and identify gait problems such as inward-toed, ankle sprains, and lameness.
2. Rehabilitation and sports optimization
Personalized rehabilitation program formulation: Customize corrective insoles, physical interventions or rehabilitation training plans based on pressure data to improve gait abnormalities and accelerate postoperative recovery.
Sports performance improvement: Evaluate the plantar pressure distribution and movement standardization of athletes, optimize technical movements, and reduce the risk of sports injuries.
3. Health management and prevention
Early risk warning: Monitor the gait stability of the elderly and predict the risk of falls; identify the area of overload of foot pressure load to prevent plantar pain or injury.
Assistive device adaptation guidance: Recommend appropriate shoes or support equipment according to pressure distribution to reduce the problem of uneven force on the foot.
IV. Scientific research and data support
Biomechanical research: Analyze the relationship between plantar pressure and lower limb/whole body mechanical characteristics to provide data support for clinical practice or sports science.
Intervention effect evaluation: By comparing the pressure data before and after the intervention, quantitatively evaluate the effectiveness of the treatment plan to facilitate dynamic adjustment of the strategy.
In summary, the plantar pressure analyzer plays an important role in clinical diagnosis and treatment, rehabilitation training, sports science and health management, and has the advantages of accurate evaluation and personalized intervention.
