What are the uses of plantar 3D scanners in hospitals?

The main applications of 3D foot scanners in hospitals are as follows:

Precise diagnostic assistance

High-precision laser scanning technology (millimeter-level accuracy) rapidly acquires 3D foot data, providing doctors with objective morphological evidence.

Non-contact scanning prevents deformation of the foot due to stress, ensuring the authenticity of measurement data.

Visualized 3D models intuitively display key metrics such as arch height and plantar contact area.

Developing personalized rehabilitation plans.

For flat feet: Design corrective insoles based on scan data to improve plantar pressure distribution.

For high arches: Customized insoles with enhanced support are developed to reduce sports injuries.

Children’s arches Developmental Monitoring: Long-term tracking data supports early intervention.

Medical Process Optimization

The scanning process takes only seconds, significantly improving diagnosis and treatment efficiency.

Data can be stored long-term for review and comparative evaluation of treatment outcomes.

Supports export to formats such as STL for direct use in 3D printing of orthopedic devices.

Multi-scenario Application Expansion

Footwear Product Development: Providing accurate foot data for functional footwear design.

Occupational Disease Prevention: Regularly monitor and adjust footwear selection.

Postoperative Rehabilitation Management: Quantitatively assess recovery progress.

This technology is particularly suitable for foot and ankle surgery, rehabilitation, and pediatrics. Its standardized data collection method effectively reduces diagnostic errors.
